How do you manage to save a protected PDF from Word? Certainly the Windows version doesn't permit this. In fact it warns specifically that it will not do so:

You will need third party software that is VBA enabled in order to do this. Acrobat is the obvious, if expensive, choice.

PDF Creator has a free version that will do the job, but not unless you get approval to use it.

I personally prefer version 2.5 to the latest bloatware -https://www.filepuma.com/download/pdfcreator_2.5.2-14942/

Watch out for unwanted software and browser modifications that may come with this version. You only need to install the core program.

Answer 2

Try this ...

ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 FileName:="Your Path and Name", FileFormat:=word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatPDF, Password:="1234"

Are you using Office/Word pdf or are you using a third party pdf creator?
