Adds password protection to a PDF by uploading it to the Cross-Service Solutions API, polling until the job completes, and returning a download URL for the protected file. Requires an API key from Cross-Service Solutions.
Handles the full upload-poll-download cycle automatically, so users get a protected file without manually managing API calls or job status checks.
When to Use It
- Locking a contract PDF before sending to a client
- Protecting a confidential report shared over email
- Adding a password to a scanned document before archiving
- Securing an invoice PDF with a recipient-specific password
- Restricting access to a sensitive form before distribution

# password-protect-pdf
## Purpose
This skill password-protects a PDF by:
1) accepting a PDF file from the user,
2) accepting a password from the user,
3) uploading both to the Solutions API,
4) polling the job status until it is finished,
5) returning the download URL for the password-protected PDF.
## Credentials
The API requires an API key used as a Bearer token:
- `Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>`
How the user gets an API key:
- https://login.cross-service-solutions.com/register
- Or the user can provide an API key directly.
**Rule:** never echo or log the API key.
## API endpoints
Base URL:
- `https://api.xss-cross-service-solutions.com/solutions/solutions`
Create password-protect job:
- `POST /api/32`
- `multipart/form-data` parameters:
- `file` (PDF-Datei) — required — PDF file
- `userPass` (Passwort) — required — string password
Get result by ID:
- `GET /api/<ID>`
When done, the response contains:
- `output.files[]` with `{ name, path }` where `path` is a downloadable URL.
## Inputs
### Required
- PDF file (binary)
- Password (`userPass`, string)
- API key (string)
### Optional
- None
## Output
Return a structured result:
- `job_id` (number)
- `status` (string)
- `download_url` (string, when done)
- `file_name` (string, when available)
Example output:
```json
{
"job_id": 321,
"status": "done",
"download_url": "https://.../protected.pdf",
"file_name": "protected.pdf"
}
