MC1017119 — SharePoint: OneDrive and SharePoint – Protect PDF with password

MC1017119Microsoft OneDriveplanForChangeUpdated: 5 August 2025

Starting July 2025, OneDrive and SharePoint will let users password-protect PDFs with open passwords (to restrict access) and owner passwords (to set permissions like printing or editing). The feature saves a new protected copy without overwriting the original, requiring no admin action for rollout.
