Q: Can Finder find an encrypted PDF file?

I saved a PDF, in Preview, and encrypted it.  I have done this over time and never kept them in a single folder.  Can Finder locate these files? If so, what is the tag, or other attribute is used?

 

Thanks.

    Ha! I had just tried to delete that last part of my comment because I realized I was mistaken. :-) But, the system wouldn't let me.

     

    Yes, you are correct. And I think your solution is simpler so it is better in that sense. Nor is it clear if there are any real differences between the two approaches.

     

    Cheers!
