but its not secure
If a file is not important enough to secure with a password, then it might be alright to use PDF, but if its something else like your bank stuff, PDF should never be used

PDF is a proprietary format anyways and is not free. any sane person wont even dare come close to it. Please use .ODF if you really need an advanced document as it is actually free.

Just use it as the document format and encrypt the entire file with any algorithm of your choice.
