Default Protect document

If you only set the "Password to modify" field, a user could still edit the file using third party software
(such as WordPad, WordPerfect, OpenOffice.org, StarOffice, etc.). I'd recommend that you send your Microsoft
Word Document as a PDF.

Using the PDF format doesn't guarantee that the user won't be able to edit it. Any user with Adobe Acrobat
Elements, Adobe Acrobat Standard, or Adobe Acrobat Professional can edit any PDF (that have no additional
protection).


To view PDF files, you will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader (a.k.a. Adobe Reader or Acrobat Reader):
