Can I remove a password from a PDF without Acrobat on my Win 11?
Hello, I recently downloaded a PDF file with a password. I have to enter the password every time I open it, which is really troublesome. And I am using Windows 11, and I don’t have software like Adob...
If you have access to the PDF password, you can also print the secured PDF to a new PDF file, effectively removing the password from PDF:
1. Open the PDF: Use any PDF reader that allows you to input the password—like Microsoft Edge or any other PDF viewer that supports it.
2. Enter Password: When prompted, enter the password to open the PDF.
3. Print the PDF:'
- Click on the Print option (or press Ctrl + P).
- In the printer selection menu, choose Microsoft Print to PDF.
- Click on the Print button.
4. Save the New File: You’ll be prompted to save the newly created PDF file. Choose a location, give it a name, and click Save.
Now, this new PDF should be free of the password, and you can open it without any hassle!
