How to remove a PDF password

- Choose Remove Password and type the document's current password.

A practical starting point
For a statement you read repeatedly, enter the existing password and keep the downloaded copy in a protected folder. It will no longer ask for that password.
Frequently asked questions
What are the limits of Unlock PDF?
This does not recover a forgotten opening password. Removing encryption also removes that protection from the new copy; it does not grant permission to redistribute it.
How should I check the Unlock PDF result?
Open the result in a separate viewer. If the password is rejected, check case, whitespace and the selected file. Keep the encrypted original until you have checked every page.
