How to add password protection to a PDF or Word document

Sometimes you only want the contents of a document to be seen by those who are authorized to see it. This can be done by assigning a password to a document that must be entered correctly to open the document. You can password protect a PDF or Word document at the time of its creation by giving the password you want to use to GrabzIt.
