Easily remove passwords and encryption for PDF files you know the password of.
If you're looking for a tool which is able to help you get around passwords to access a PDF file created by one of many editors (including Adobe Acrobat), then PDF Password Remover might be the tool you're looking for.
While this program does not act as a password cracker, it does allow people to remove passwords for PDF files that they do know the password for; that is, if you don't already know the password of the PDF file, then PDF Password Remover will not remove the password.
The program has been around for several years, and the user interface of this software is rather plain and boring though easy to find your way around in. Besides opening a PDF file and actually removing the password, the program has little more features to mention. You may input the username and password and choose the directory in which you would like the non-password protected file saved to.
If you don't register this program, then you might get a little bit annoyed by the nagging it does in order to get you to buy a copy; the free trial will also only process the first few pages of a PDF file.
Though as a trial, this program isn't that useful as it serves little purpose but if you obtain the full version, you might find it useful if you're constantly required to remove the password from your PDF documents.
In our opinion, the cost of PDF Password Remover is rather high for the limited functionality as we'd like to see some more beef to the program for it to be worth it.. though either way it does effectively remove passwords without a hitch!
