How to Copy Text from Password Protected PDF?

Many times we come across situations where we need to copy text from a password-protected PDF document. It could be a manual, an important document, or any other informational material that we wish to refer to or reuse.

However, copying text from a password-protected PDF is not as straightforward as copying from a regular document. Here are some steps you can follow to accomplish this:

1. Use a dedicated PDF unlocking tool: There are several third-party tools available online that can help you unlock or remove the password from a PDF file. Once you unlock the PDF, you should be able to copy text from it.
2. Print and scan the document: If you are unable to unlock the PDF, another workaround is to print the document and then scan it back into your computer. This will create a new, unprotected version of the PDF that you can easily copy text from.
3. Re-type the text: If all else fails, you can manually re-type the text from the PDF into a text document. While this may be time-consuming, it is a reliable way to access the information you need.

It's important to remember that copying text from a password-protected PDF without permission may violate copyright laws or terms of use. Make sure you have the necessary rights to use the information before proceeding.
