How do you mean "Protect a work"?
Do you mean prevent others from editing it when you send it to them?
Create a password-protected PDF file using Adobe Acrobat.

Or prevent others from opening the file without a password?
Create a password-protected ZIP file is one way.

Brian, I have a question about this because it relates to some earlier posts today. I have Adobe Acrobat 6 professional. I tried to save some Publisher documents in PDF as that would solve a lot of my email difficutlies with Publisher...I don't seem to see the option for Pub documents...only Word and the like...it's probably staring right out in front of me but in the "open" publisher documents do not appear and the drop down box does not show it an option

In Publisher, you need to go to File > Print and choose the Adobe PDF
Printer. This will create a PDF of your Publisher publication (leaving
the original pub file in tact). Then you can open the PDF in Adobe. --

This is a very common misconception caused by the ease of conversion from
Word, Excel and PowerPoint to PDF.
You do not need to have a button there to convert the file to PDF.
Any program that can print can convert a file to PDF using Acrobat, by going
to File > Print and selecting Adobe PDF as the printer name.
You will need to disable the "Do not send fonts to Distiller" (or turn on
Font Embedding) to get it to function properly.

I am bouncing around all over the place here so I apologize to all for
duplications on theme...Ed, I can not find any option to select Adobe as a printer source.
I pull up a pub document. I go to file>print>and my list of printers
appear (we have quite a few on the UD network). I go to advance printer
settings and I see no option, drop down box or otherwise to indicate adobe.

Michelle, not sure if you are not seeing my posts, but if you don't see
"Adobe PDF" as a printer listing, your network admin needs to install that
printer!
