Let's start with the question: why are files blocked at all? Authors of pdf files do this to protect the copyright of their material. Thus, protect yours from copying, printing, editing, or making any unauthorized changes.
Many users have encountered the problem of being unable to read or print any PDF file. And sometimes it is very necessary. For example, you downloaded some electronic publication in PDF format and want to print it so that you can read the text from paper and not from a monitor. In this case, the file is protected from printing – “Print: Do not allow”.
Or another case - some book is distributed exclusively with a password, and you want to read it. But this is impossible due to the fact that this document is prohibited from reading. Unlocking can help in both of these cases, but not always. If you set a good administrator password and a password for opening pdf, then most likely nothing will work.
Many people do not like to install programs on their computer unless absolutely necessary; they prefer to use online services. Let's look at several online services designed specifically to unlock PDF. Let's briefly look at 3 such services.
1) http://www.pdfunlock.com
A very interesting service with simple functionality. Your task is to select the required file using the “My Computer” button (number 1 in Fig. 1). And then press the “Unlock!” button (in Russian “Open”, number 2 in Fig. 1). The unlocking time will depend on the file size.

Application of special programs

We all quite often use documents in PDF format. This is due to its functionality and convenience. However, each of us may encounter the need to remove protection from a PDF file. This may be needed for various reasons, for example, in order to print text, edit a file, open it in a non-standard way through Photoshop, convert from this format to another so that the file can be read by another device, and so on.
The reason for this need is absolutely unimportant. The main thing is that if the PDF file is protected, you will not be able to do all of the above. Therefore, our task today is to find out and understand how not to become a hostage to this situation. So, how do you remove protection from a PDF file? Below I will talk about several ways that allow you to do this. However, all of them can only remove the password from these documents. You won't be able to find out exactly what it was, but after that you can do whatever you want with the file.
If you look for programs that remove protection from PDF files through search engines, the vast majority of them will be paid. But I still managed to find several working methods that did not cost me anything. It is these that I will now share with you, which will save you from the dreary search for a solution.
Online services
Let's start with online services, thanks to which the protection of PDF files can be easily removed. The advantage of this method is that you will not have to download software to your hard drive and then install the software with all the ensuing consequences. After all, I’m absolutely sure that you don’t often wonder how to remove protection from a PDF file? As a rule, such a need arises a couple of times in life.
How to do it?
Using your browser, go to www.freemypdf.com. This resource is quite old, but throughout its existence it has proven itself quite well. It not only allows you to remove the password, but also removes restrictions such as protecting PDF files from copying, printing, and the like. However, if your file initially asks for a password even just to open it, then this service will not be able to help you.
So, I’ll tell you how to remove protection from a PDF file using this online service. We go to the site, then click on the file selection button. Next, you need to specify the path to the file that needs to be unlocked. Remember that the size of such a document should not exceed one hundred and fifty megabytes. Otherwise, this method will not help you. When the file is specified, click on the button called "Do it!" We're waiting for a while. After this, you can download the required document without a password and in decrypted form.
Second way
The second way to get rid of your password is www.pdfunlock.com. It works on the same principle as described above. Drag and drop your password-protected document directly into the window of this site. If the file was on your hard drive, click the “My Computer” button. If you find it in, click on the “Google Drive” or “Drop Box” button. Next, you need to click on the “Unblock” button and wait for the unprotection process to complete.
Free software
Now it's time to learn how to remove protection from a PDF file using free software. Let's start with the first program, which is called "PDF Password Remover Tool". Download it from the developer's website. Just do not confuse this software with a similar one called "PDF Password Remover". The latest program does everything the first does, but costs twenty-nine US dollars.
How to use?
How to use this miracle? And everything is very simple. Even a schoolchild can understand the interface of this software. We find a field called “Open PDF file”, and in it we indicate the document that needs to be “neutralized”. Next, go to the field called “Save PDF file”, where you need to specify the name under which the new document will be saved without protection. Find the "Convert" button and wait for the process to complete. This software is able to cope with many passwords, so, as a rule, there is no need to look for any other solutions to this problem.
Let's move on. I present to your attention the following program that will allow you to unlock a protected document. It's called "Free PDF Unlocker", and you can also download it from the developer's website. It is quite simple and allows you not only to get rid of the password, but also to remove any prohibitions and restrictions on PDF files. This is both print protection and copy protection. The ban on opening files does not present any difficulties for her. She overcomes this obstacle with ease. However, it is not always able to cope with some new documents that have enhanced protection.
Paid software
All of the above is usually enough to remove the password. These methods are quite simple and do not require any material investments. But if for some reason none of the above methods solved your problem, and the PDF document still has a password, try using another program called "Very PDF Password Remover". You can download it, like all previous ones, on the developer’s website.
The full version of this software costs one thousand Russian rubles, but the trial version will not cost you anything. You can easily understand its interface, and it will certainly do everything you need. The program copes with any difficulties that relate to the PDF format.
There is also a sea of similar software, usually paid, which I don’t see the need to use, since, as you can see, there are enough free programs that solve the problem. If you nevertheless decide to use paid software, then I have also offered you the best possible option.
I will end here, since I told you everything I wanted. All of the above methods definitely work, since I have personally tested them more than once. I hope I saved you from unnecessary waste of time searching for a solution to this pressing problem on Internet resources, as well as thematic forums.
The file is quite real. The time spent on removing protection from a pdf document depends on the complexity of the password set and the resources used.
Forewarned is forearmed. I think this article will help you more reliably protect your works, and let’s be honest, if necessary, use someone else’s, poorly protected pdf file.
