Full Discussion: Setting Password For PDF File--Linux
Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Setting Password For PDF File--Linux Post 302745871 by Yoda on Tuesday 18th of December 2012 09:01:53 AM

Just renaming the file by changing the extension to .pdf will not convert a file to PDF. You have to use an app, for example:text2pdfto convert a text file to PDF.

For applying password on your PDF file, you can install and use pdftk. A simple google search will yield results on how to use this app to apply password.

I hope this helps.
