In this article, we will look at how a user may change protected PDF files. Some PDF files are password protected. To see and update these documents, you will need to input the password each time. If you save the PDF file in a secure area, you can delete the password to avoid hassle.
We will discuss three techniques for doing so here. First, we will discuss the simple way that works on all operating systems and with programmes that you already have. Other ways include Google Chrome and Adobe Acrobat. Both techniques may presume you know the passwords to these protected PDF files. Unfortunately, if you do not know the password, there is no simple method to delete it.
You can also use third-party software to erase PDF passwords before modifying the file, as advised by experts. The PDF Unlocker Tool is an excellent option for removing password security from PDF files so that they may be edited. The app can unlock PDF files using owner-level password security and known-user-level password security.
We've discussed three basic approaches for eliminating security from PDF documents so they may be edited.
The PDF Unlocker Tool removes PDF limitations, allowing users to effortlessly print, copy, and edit restricted PDF files. To unlock encrypted PDF files in bulk, use the software's Add File and Folder option. You may quickly eliminate PDF comment, document assembly, and signature limitations, as well as enable form filling. Using this programme is simple and requires only a few clicks.
Follow the steps outlined below to enable permissions to change the protected PDF file.
1. Launch the PDF Unlocker Tool.
2. Choose one or more PDF files by selecting the Browse option.
3. Select the PDF file and input the password to access it.
4. Once the PDF file has been unlocked, click the browse option and select a location.
5. Select "Remove Security Now" and choose whatever limitation you wish to remove.
It is a stand-alone tool, and users do not require Adobe Acrobat to enable permissions to change protected PDF files. The utility works with many versions of Adobe Acrobat PDF documents. Users have the option to maintain the source PDF password in an unlocked output PDF file. It does not restore or remove limitations from damaged files.
Let's move on to the other options for converting protected PDFs to unprotected documents for editing.
Google Chrome is the only browser that allows users to alter the PDF protected mode using the "Print" option.
1. Open Google Chrome and navigate to Google Drive if you are already logged in.
2. In the right corner of the window, choose the "New" option, then pick "File Upload", select your PDF, and click "OK". Double-click the PDF file in Google Drive. If your PDF is password-protected/user-locked, enter the password and select the "Submit" option.
3. When the PDF opens, use "Ctrl + P" to bring up the print window.
4. Select the "Change" option, and a menu will display.
5. Under the "Destination" option, select "Save as PDF".
6. Navigate to the destination by selecting the "Destination" option.
7. Click the "Save" button, and the unrestricted PDF file will be stored on your computer.
Let's move on to the Adobe Acrobat Pro technique for modifying protected PDF files.
If you just have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you will be unable to unlock your PDF files. The approach we're utilising requires the premium edition of Adobe Acrobat.
Now, take these easy steps to enable rights and toggle PDF protected mode:
1. Open Adobe Acrobat and select the "File" option in the upper-left corner of the window.
Note: You may also check the "Recently Viewed" page to see whether the PDF you require is shown.
2. A drop down will appear; select "Open". If you selected the "Recently Viewed" option, you may skip this step.
3. Double-click the PDF file you want to open.
4. Enter the password to unlock the PDF file, then click "OK".
Note: If you do not know the password, you will be unable to alter the PDF.
5. Click the "Padlock" symbol beneath the "Home" button.
6. Choose the "Permission Details" option.
7. Select the "Security Method" option.
8. A drop down menu will appear, with a "No Security" option; select that choice.
9. Enter the PDF's password again, then click "OK" again. Once you input the correct password, your PDF file will no longer be password protected.
Here are the techniques for removing passwords from PDF files. After completing the PDF file unlocking process, users can change protected PDF files.
A user may encrypt a file for security reasons, as it may contain sensitive or secret information. In this blog, we discuss three options for editing these files. The professional tool described here is the most effective option for users to enable permissions to change protected PDF files. It supports unrestricted PDF files on both Windows and Mac OS. The programme is also compatible with all Windows (32 and 64 bit) operating systems.
