I downloaded a pdf file with a document security
Security Method: Standard
Open Password: No
Security Password: Yes
Printing: Allowed
Changing the Document: Not Allowed
Selecting Text and Graphics: Not Allowed
Adding or Changing Annotations and Form Fields: Not Allowed
Is there any mehod I can edit the file if I don't know the password?

I want to do the same but I think, this is the right answer.
I wish the answer were different because Now I'm working, I mean I'm in my Job, and I nedded a possitive answer and It isn't for me. Goodbye.

Thanks.

I downloaded a PDF file and need to print it, but the security setting is set to printing, not allowed. I too need something to crack it. Anyway??

Try looking for a cracker on the web, yahoo and google both give very good results.
I found 2 very good and reliable programs:

Advanced PDF Password Recovery (apdfpr), cost $30, this will remove the password protection IF you have one of the two passwords available (user or owner, but not both). You can download a useful trial program before deciding if you want to buy it.

or this brute-force cracker, Adobe Acrobat Password Recovery Key, cost $45 (shareware), this find the password of a locked file. I have found it extremely useful in finding passwords for locked files from previous (read laid-off) employees. It is located at:

You can also write your own program if you don't want to spend the money, freshmeat.net would help you find a starting place.
