Bug Description

This is a suggestion:

How about making it possible to save PDF with password? I scan sensitive documents, but to put passwords on the saved PDF after having saved it, is cumbersome and involves

Save to JPG
put the JPGs in an office document
export to PDF with password
send with email

or something. Or GPG it, but if the recipient doesn't have/understand GPG, I'm out of luck.

Apart from being very cumbersome, there's a sensitivity concern with the JPGs being forgotten here and there...

WISHLIST:
-Email as PDF (with password). one step.
