+Note:- I was unable to encrypt a pdf file using Adobe Reader X1 Version 11.0.13 . I could not find the "Tools pane" described in <nowiki>http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/acrobat/pdfs/adobe-acrobat-xi-protect-pdf-file-with-permissions-tutorial-ue.pdf</nowiki>. I also tried File -> Properties -> Security after opening the file. However all the options in that window are greyed out. So I can't add a password from there as well. I was told that Adobe Standard can do this but it costs money whereas pdftk is free. In the end, using pdftk was a no brainer.
