How Do You Remove Security From Pdf? PDF problem

Re: XPS solutionHow Do You Remove Security From Pdf?

THANK YOU for posting this! We receive "secured" PDF files from the various U.S. States every day, and simply need to combine them with other files so they can be sent in a single fax (we use a fax server - we don't hand-fax anything). We were previously having to either print and scan these documents (resulting in the inevitable loss of quality), or fax them to ourselves (same problem). This solution works like a charm and the quality is as good as the original!

You're my new hero.

here you go..How Do You Remove Security From Pdf?<a href=http://forums.xisto.com/topic/6137-how-do-you-remove-security-from-pdf-pdf-problem/ to ket</a>If the file lets you print, then choose Adobe PDF as your printer... And it will save the new pdf without file restrictions.

 

Curse, spit

Open the file in ghostum/ghostscript later than v 4.9

Export as pdfwrite, name the file something ending in pdf.

Open in Foxit (or for grandma: Adobe)

Stop cursing and spitting

Work as normal.

remove pdf securityHow Do You Remove Security From Pdf?<p>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.</p>

 

This is the best answer so far. I use Adobe Acrobat 8 and I do use the "print Adobe pdf" function all the time. But merging pdf files together including a secured pdf will no longer let you do that. I tried the snapshot cut and paste, doesn't work. I tried through MS paint but the quality is bad. The Microsoft XPS Document Writer or Microsoft Document Image Writer works best. I don't want to download crack codes, especially in my work environment. You can never be too careful.

 

Thanks for your knowledge.

If all you want to do is copy the contents of a secure PDF to a word document there is no need to remove the security. Just open the PDF and select Edit from the tool bar. In the drop down click on select all. The document should be now be highlighted. Now press Ctrl+C. This copies the contents of the PDF to your clipboard. Now open your word document and press Ctrl+V. This will paste what you copied from the PDF into the word document. By the way, this works in any windows based program.

Copy/paste is the very thing the security stops!, and printing to Microsoft XPS Document Writer (.Xps) ends up with the text being messed up, with no option to save as another file format (forcing a save as .doc or .PDF gives the same failed result.

A paid for converter looks the only way, as dodgy trials prevent even a single proper use!.

Can remove restrictions with one click live on the website. Brings up a dialogue box to open/save the new version. Removed all the copy/print/edit restrictions.

just used this service today and it worked perfect. now i can save individual pages of the pdf to my hard drive. the other solutions did not preserve the formatting of the document nor the graphics.
thanks so much!

UpdateHow Do You Remove Security From Pdf?<p>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".</p>

 

Brilliant! I saved it to xps, then opened it up with xps viewer, then from there print it back to PDF! Thank you!!!

Convert XPS back to PDF easily...Here is a FREE solution for the garbled XPS files. These can only be correctly viewed with an XPS reader. I use a XPS to PDF conversion freeware that has worked great for me.After conversion to XPS to remove restrictions you can then convert with XPS TO PDF software to create the unrestricted pdf file. As I said, very simple to use, it is free and completely explained on their website. http://www.micre13b.com/

On the other end of this does anyone know how to properly protect pdf documents to avoid tools like the ones in this thread from working?
