I saved a Powerpoint as a pdf in Office 2007 but I don't see any options to add print restrictions or edit restrictions to it.

I don't have Adobe either, so I'm wondering if there is any alternative way to add restrictions to a pdf.

I know there are tools to remove document restrictions, but can they do they opposite? Is there any freeware or websites available that can add restrictions to my pdf I created?

I found a website that looked promising but it didn't end up working (The upload didn't work).
