How To Remove Password Via PDF Reader
If your PDF file is secured with an “owner password,” which limits editing, printing, or copying, you can eliminate these restrictions using a PDF reader like Adobe Acrobat or Foxit Reader.
- Open the PDF in a PDF reader like Acrobat Pro on your laptop or PC.
- Click on Choose Tools. Then click on Encrypt and then on Remove Security.
- If your document has a ‘Document Open’ password, click on OK to remove it.
- Or if your document has a permissions password, type the correct password in the Enter Password box and then click OK.
