It's quick and easy-to-use. Click “...More” to learn why you should download this App today! PDF Password Remover can be used to decrypt protected Adobe Acrobat PDF files, which have "owner" password set, preventing the file from editing (changing), printing, selecting text and graphics (and copying them into the Clipboard), or adding/changing annotations and form fields. Decryption is being done instantly. Decrypted file can be opened in any PDF viewer (e.g. Adobe Acrobat Reader) without any restrictions -- i.e. with edit/copy/print functions enabled. All versions of Adobe Acrobat (including 9.x, which features 128-bit encryption) are supported. The standard security provided by PDF consists of two different methods and two different passwords, 'user password' and 'owner password'. A PDF document may be protected by password for opening ('user' password) and the document may also specify operations that should be restricted even when the document is decrypted: printing; copying text and graphics out of the document; modifying the document; and adding or modifying text notes and AcroForm fields (using 'owner' password).  Limitation: Please note that PDF Password Remover doesn't work with documents which have 'user' password (preventing the files from being opened), if both user and owner passwords are unknown the PDF Password Remover will fail. What we do: 1. Decrypt PDF files protected with owner passwords. 2. Removing restrictions of PDF files, Restrictions usually include the impossibility to print or edit or modify the PDF file. 3. If only copying is locked, you don't need input owner password to enable copy text and graphics out of the document.  What we don't do: 1. Decrypt PDF files protected with user passwords which you are asked for opening the file. 2. PDF Password Remover doesn't crack your PDF files . => Features:  • Remove PDF Password and Restrictions: 1. If the PDF file is protected by Owner Password: Users may need to type the password to unlock the PDF file manually, and then PDF Password Remover can unlock the PDF automatically and create unlocked PDF copy of the original file. *Owner Password: Password which is used to protect PDF files from editing, copying and printing. 2. If the PDF file is protected by User Password: Users need to type the password to unlock the PDF file manually, and then PDF Password Remover can create unlocked PDF copy of the original file too.  *User Password: Password which is used to protect the files from opening. It is also called Open Password sometimes. => Easy to use Remove PDF password and restrictions with just 3 simple steps: Launch – Touch – Decrypt => High Compatibility Support Adobe PDF 1.0-1.7 Support decrypting PDF files in any languages Standalone, do not require Adobe Reader or Acrobat => More:  • Really attractive, super easy to use interface. • Open, import, export, convert and share PDF files. • Remove PDF password and all restrictions. • Remove the security settings from your encrypted PDF file is instant. • Decrypt protected Adobe Acrobat PDF files, removing restrictions on printing, editing, copying. • Send documents as email attachments. • Copy to pasteboard. • Air print any part or all of a document. • Send files to iBook, PDF Reader, GoodReader and other apps("Open In.." integration) • WiFi file transfer (Browser or Webdav clients). • USB file transfer (iTunes file sharing).

And taking money. They totally scam people. ### 1/5 — Misleading App - Don’t purchase *2022-02-17, version 2.3* Complete waste of time and money. Very misleading. Had a PDF file that had printing locked/disabled and this software then asks for the password to unlock it. If I had the password to print I would not need this app! Want my money back from this scam app. ### 1/5 — Misleading Advertising *2022-01-30, version 2.3* Purports to be able to remove PDF passwords, but only removes passwords that you have set yourself. Pretty useless in other words. I immediately removed from my device but lost $1.49 for the experience. Apple should do more to protect users from misleading advertisers. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2021-12-13, version 2.3* Will not open a files protected with a password from opening without entering the password! Waists of money! ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2021-09-28* Waist of time and money, didn’t work at all ### 4/5 — Rough, but works! Essential for Apple Pencil owners *2021-04-11, version 2.3* The developer’s first language wasn’t English, but the guide is understandable. It needs updating, so there was a crash after switching apps, but it wasn’t a big deal. It doesn’t have native support for the files app, so you have to go to your PDF and “open in” then select the app. Then once you’ve removed the owner password, it gives you the output, with a few ways of saving but the easiest I found is to copy to clipboard then paste in the folder in the files app. $1.49 AUD well spent, since I’ve ran in to a number of owner protected PDF forms that I can’t fill in with the Apple Pencil, and currently the workarounds on google don’t seem to work, like printing to PDF. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-05-19* This does not remove any passwords. It did not work on any of my own documents for which I created my own password. Requesting a refund. Bad product. ### 4/5 — Simple works as advertised... *2019-05-08* USE: In this world of data hacking and doing your best to secure your information this is an a essential tool to manipulate your own files for availability. This app was predominantly used with tax information to receive in a secure file and then re-deliver it to another source which quite often doesn’t accept password-protected material, as in a secure website or a secure email service (ie bank website) ASSESSMENT: I could not rate it five stars because I felt the interface was a little clunky and perhaps why we have those one star whiner posts. However once you figure out its a copy and paste interface along with knowing the password it has worked every time for me and is pretty darn simple. ### 1/5 — Confirmed! It doesn’t work *2019-02-26, version 2.3* I could open the PDF I had before buying this app, as there was no password. Bought the app to allow me to remove the print restrictions only. Following the instructions got me nowhere as it still needs the authors password to undo these restrictions. Waste of time and money ### 1/5 — Money wasted - doesn’t work *2019-01-31, version 2.3* Bought to open PDFs locked with a password that had been lost. Doesn’t do what it says on the tin. ## Frequently asked questions about PDF Password Remover ### What does PDF Password Remover do?
