I use Yojimbo to file my PDF's but I though folks might be interested in a quick script to embed in hazel to automatically encrypt a PDF before Hazel files it for you...

---------------------------
set this_file to theFile
set pass_word to "password"

tell application "PDFpen"
open this_file
save document 1 encrypt using AES256 password pass_word

end tell

I updated this to use a password stored in OSX KeyChain.

Details are here:

Here's the script:

Code: Select all

set this_file to theFile -- use this if you are using hazel

set label to "PDFName" --this is the Name: in Keychain change for whatever you use
set Qlabel to quoted form of label
set t to do shell script "security 2>&1 find-generic-password -gl " & Qlabel
set text item delimiters to "\"" -- Get Password
set tlst to every text item of t
set pw to item 2 of tlst

tell application "PDFpen"
   open this_file
   save document 1 encrypt using AES256 password pw
   quit
end tell
