    Hi...

    I have a pdf with 128 bit CR4 encryption so I can't print or copy any of its contents, do you know how to remove the encryption?

    Thanks! :bleh:

    Did You try one of the MANY Doc Converters.

    NOT SURE it would work, but if You have it as a WORD .doc You may be able to get in there.

    Best of Luck Bro. :wink:

    Hey pilz...thanks for the answer but I don't think a .doc converter could bypass the encryption :bow:

    "PDF Password Remover" or "PDF password Cracker Pro" ...The first being the better in my experience (fast too!).

    I use Wondershare pdf password remover. It works just fine, I use it all the time because you can't ocr a pdf file without first removing the encryption. You should be able to find it over at demonoid, avax, or the bay. Adobe pdf or document converters WILL NOT do what you are looking for.

    Hope that helps. Good luck!

    @smartlad -

    the wondershare software I mentioned above will do that for you. In fact, any pdf password remover program should do it.

    PDF's with print/copy/export protection are rather easy, but fully protected PDF's that won't even open w/o a password are another story.
    The free GSview/Ghostscript pack will let you do the former, as probably many other programs will, too.

    Good morning smartlad,

    What version of Adobe Reader do you have ?! ... I ask you this because at one time i could not open a pdf file and i thought as
    you think that it was protected spending some time looking for a solution when in fact the problem was that my reader was
    outdated. So, i will suggest you to update your Acrobat Reader to the last version and see what happens.

    Kind regards!

    It is password protected you are supposed to pay for the key from the site :D

    @Ricco I tried it but no luck :( nothing happens if I drag the file in, and it don't show up in browser if I try to select it manually.

    Cheers guys
