How to Remove Password Encryption from PDF

Removing password encryption from a PDF file can be necessary if you've forgotten the password or no longer need the security measure. Here's how you can easily remove password encryption from a PDF:

  1. Open the encrypted PDF using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
  2. Enter the password to view the document.
  3. Once the document is open, go to 'File' and then 'Properties'.
  4. In the properties window, click on the 'Security' tab.
  5. Click on the 'Security Method' dropdown menu and select 'No Security'.
  6. Enter the password when prompted to confirm the action.
  7. Save the PDF with the security settings removed.

Remember that removing password encryption from a PDF may not be ethical in certain situations, so make sure you have the right permissions to do so.
