Step 2: Remove protection from PDF

Click the Start button in the lower right corner of the software. Immediately, a dialog box pops up showing "Successfully Removed", which means the PDF permissions password as well as the Document Open Password (if any) has been removed successfully. You can then click OK in the dialog box to open the PDF file and make changes to it without any restrictions.

Tip: Once the PDF permissions password is removed successfully, the software converts the original protected PDF file into an unprotected PDF file with all contents unchanged. The unprotected PDF file is saved in the same location as the original PDF file. Therefore, you can click OK in the Tips dialog to open the unprotected PDF file directly, or you can go to the target folder to open it.
