Freeware PDF Unlocker is a freeware program that will remove the password and restrictions on any PDF file that you can read. Most commonly used to remove restrictions such as No printing or copy & paste functions. Uses a simple drag and drop method. You do not need to know the “owner” password for this to work. Removes 40 or 128 bit passwords. Works as well as any retail or shareware program you could purchase.

1. If you can not open to read, with or without password, then it will not work. (unknown “user” password)
2. Make sure the directory of the original file is not read only, as the new file will be saved to the same directory.
