Can I remove a password from a PDF without Acrobat on my Win 11?

Here’s a nifty way to remove password from PDF on Windows 11 using Microsoft tools, particularly if you've got access to Microsoft Word (and we’re assuming you have the password):

1. Open the PDF in Word:

• Open Microsoft Word and go to "File" -> "Open."
• Select your PDF file. Word will convert the PDF to an editable format. It might give you a heads up saying that some formatting could be lost, but that's cool for the sake of getting rid of the password.

2. Enter the Password:  

• When prompted, enter the password to unlock the PDF.

3. Edit and Save:

• Once it's open, you can make any edits or just save it. Go to "File" -> "Save As" and choose PDF from the save options.
• Name it whatever you want and save it in your desired location. Now it should be free from any password!
