Passord Protecting a 1040 .pdf

[jasdlm]

Does anyone know how to password protect the .pdf that ATX will create? I want to email a .pdf to a client, but I can't figure out how to password protect it. There is an option to password protect the return, but I assume that is within ATX. I am a single-preparer office, and I would rather not password protect the return within ATX. I'm not sure whether that would take care of the .pdf anyway.

Thanks so much.

You should be able to go to the Pdf document, right click, then click on Pdf security and follow the prompts.

It is going to depend on what PDF program you use, Many do allow it, but not all. Check the user manual or help key

If you have Acrobat, you should be able to convert the pdf to Acrobat. I use pdfprofactory and I have the acrobat icon in upper left. I just click it and I have the document in acrobat, which has a lot more functions available.
