        Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_SECRET"));

    PDFServices pdfServices = new PDFServices(credentials);

    IAsset asset = pdfServices.Upload(inputStream, PDFServicesMediaType.PDF.GetMIMETypeValue());

    ProtectPDFParams protectPDFParams = ProtectPDFParams.PasswordProtectParamsBuilder()
        .SetUserPassword("password")
        .SetEncryptionAlgorithm(EncryptionAlgorithm.AES_256)
        .Build();
    ProtectPDFJob protectPDFJob = new ProtectPDFJob(asset, protectPDFParams);
    String location = pdfServices.Submit(protectPDFJob);
    PDFServicesResponse<ProtectPDFResult> pdfServicesResponse =
        pdfServices.GetJobResult<ProtectPDFResult>(location, typeof(ProtectPDFResult));

    IAsset resultAsset = pdfServicesResponse.Result.Asset;
    StreamAsset streamAsset = pdfServices.GetContent(resultAsset);
