galexcd 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2007 I never really understood the PDF password protection. I mean the data is all there, and not encrypted or anything, it just is an annoying little obstacle I have to pass when I need to copy something from one that doesn't let you copy. This was most annoying when my AP computer science class was learning the marine biology case simulation, and all the questions were online in a pdf. But instead of letting us copy the questions over to save us 15 minutes, no we had to type them over. I guess college board is way too worried of somebody stealing their precious Marine Bio CS code.... I mean seriously, that was the stupidest project I've ever done. Anybody who wants to ever use that code for anything must be out of their minds... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leiaah 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2007 Amazing! I posted this 2 years ago! Anyways, the PDF Password Remover software really works. You have to buy the licensed one since the trial version only allows you a few pages of effective copy and paste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanblood 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2007 Hey could you please elaborate your problem more is it problem in the password with your pdf file that is if it is password encrypted. Or if you just want to select text and copy it in the word document because this is fairly easy and one member already gave you answer on this question.

sabrina0708 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 Is there a way to remove security from a pdf file so that I can copy its contents to a word document?Hi leiaah, There are two ways to solve this PDF problem. 1. Remove the PDF restrictions and then copy its contents to a word document. There are many PDF Password removers in the market now, but most of them are not free.  2. [Free] Convert the PDF file to Word document directly with the function of removing the pdf password. As I know, there is a Free PDF to Word Converter converts PDF files with restrictions to word in one click. It can remove the restrictions after conversion.  Hope it helps!

iGuest 3 Report post Posted August 20, 2009 UpdateHow Do You Remove Security From Pdf?Adobe has patched this loophole as of late, but you can install a 3rd party pdf/image printer or print to .Xps in windows then convert back to pdf. Just watch that the page size is set to match the pdf and not an arbitrary size like "A4". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 remove pdf securityHow Do You Remove Security From Pdf?I have not tried any of the security removal software. What worked for me is simply open the file in Adobe, hit print and select Microsoft XPS Document Writer as your printer. Print the document and then use Adobe to open the XPS document, then save as a pdf. Problem solved. If you do not have Microsoft XPS Document Writer on your computer you can install it for free from Microsoft's website. It installed very fast and with no problems.
