RedHat Setting Password For PDF File--Linux
Hi,

I am in need of help. My requirements are :
1) To convert the existing files (irrespective of their format) in a directory to PDF format
2) To make the converted files password protected.

I did the attempt to do the same. Though the existing files (irrespective of their format) are getting converted to pdf, but when I take the the to local desktop, it is not opening as its pops "format not supported".
I did as " mv $i* $i.pdf " (variable i which holds the existing file name alone).
I have no idea how to make it password protected.

Please help me asap.

PDFCLEAN(1)						      General Commands Manual						       PDFCLEAN(1)

NAME

       pdfclean - pretty print, decompress and garbage collect PDF files

SYNOPSIS

       pdfclean [options] input.pdf [output.pdf] [pages]

DESCRIPTION

       pdfclean  pretty prints and rewrites the contents of a PDF file.  If no output file is specified, the new file will be written to "out.pdf"
       in the current directory.

OPTIONS

       -p password
	      Use the specified password if the file is encrypted.

       -g     Garbage collect objects that have no references from other objects.  Give the option twice to renumber all objects and  compact  the
	      cross reference table.  Give it three times to merge and reuse duplicate objects.

       -d     Decompress streams. This will make the output file larger, but provides easy access for reading and editing the contents with a text
	      editor.
