Password for a PDF Document

I need to protect my pdf files from my really annoying cousins who would be very happy to intrude my privacy. I didn’t knew how to protect it using passwords so I used to put it in a zipped folder and then add a password, it worked but problem was that whenever I want to open it i have to unzip it, then after use I have to zip it again. It’s really too much. Thanks to "Jopi.desk" for helping me password-protect my pdf files and there by save my time from zipping-unzipping process and also from my stalker cousins!
