Password protect multiple PDF's each with unique passwords from an Excel spreadsheet

[Guest]

Hello,

I have around 200 PDF documents that need to be password protected. Each PDF needs to be password protected with a unique password. I know the passwords that must be applied and that data is in an Excel spreadsheet.

The PDF documents were generated by a mail merge in Word and printed to PDF. I know the name of the PDF documents and the password that should be applied to the PDF. This data is in an Excel spreadsheet. I want to apply the passwords held in the Excel file to the PDFs.

I could write a VBA program to do it, but I was wondering if Adobe has anything built in for this.

Thanks for your help!

There's no built-in command that does that in Acrobat.
