Hi,

Several companies regularly send us password-protected PDFs, along with the passwords to open them. The problem is that our automated document processing system requires that PDFs have no security measures enabled.

We're using Acrobat 6.0. Is there a reliable way to remove password protection? It would seem reasonable that there would be, given that we have the password.

Thanks!
 
The password only allows you to open the doc and/or print, etc, depending on the permissions written into the pdf security by the author.

The password does not allow you to remove security. You should ask the author to remove it.
