    Anyone use an app to unlock a PDF that's protected? I have several that are site design proposals for clients from a year or more ago, and don't have any idea what the passwords were. I see several apps that supposedly unlock them, but I'm worried about malware.

    Googled and get this http://www.pdfunlock.com/
    Don't know how is it works. But if you want to convert the PDF to word or text, that also can remove password from PDF, then you could get a Enolsoft PDF to word tool.

    Hi Emcee,

    There is a program named Wondershare PDF Password Remover for Mac to remove owner password protection (printing, editing, copying) from PDF documents. If you're using Windows OS try this PDF Unlock Tool.

    Hope it helps!

    In the future, please report spammers instead of conversing with them. Thanks.

    Not sure I saw the spam, but I did take the advice in Lemoon & Patricia04's replies and things worked great. I got the file unlocked, and thanked them both by 'liking' the posts.
