pdfbox  tutorial - pdfbox encrypt pdf
use the below link to check out various options for PDFBOX Encryption

http://pdfbox.apache.org/commandline/#encrypt

below code used to apply encryption to the file

here

 encrypt.encrypt( args );

the medium to pass password to the file

for examlpe

change the  encrypt.encrypt( args ); to  

 encrypt.encrypt( new String[]{"-U","mypassword"} ); 

if u try to open the file now means it will ask a password so here our password is 

mypassword

and change the infile and outfile as location to ur existing pdf file
