Automator Quick Action To Encrypt A File Not Working, Help Please

[JoelBC]

I am trying to create a Quick Action to encrypt a PDF file..

I have created the below Quick Action but when I run it on a PDF file, the file remains unencrypted.

How do I fix the workflow?

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

I found the solutions.

It seems that the Encrypt PDF Documents action is placing the compressed folder in a temporary folder for some reason. This was discovered by adding the Reveal in Finder action with the fix being to add the Move Finder Items action to get the compressed file in the desired folder.

The final workflow which works is as follows:

This will hopefully save others some time and effort!
