    Freeware PDF Unlocker is a simple and useful application for 32bit-Windows, that will remove the password and restrictions on any PDF file that you can read.

    2. A password to open the file for reading. {User}
    Using this application is very simple. After installation:
    To remove type 1, that is printing, copy & paste restriction, just drag your PDF file on to the link on your desktop (on to PDF Unloacker icon). With in a few seconds it will remove the password and allows printing or copying & pasting the contents from the PDF File.To remove type 2 requires you must know the password to open the file. You can then remove this password and any restrictions.
    Right click Remove PDF Password link (icon) and choose edit.
    Directly after ‘-sPDFPassword=’ Place open password, without quotes. Close and save file.
    Then drag and drop the PDF on to the link on your desktop. You can rename the file if you want.
    The application is tested and found to be working properly and fast. It can remove 40 or 128 bit passwords.

    In a test the Free PDF Unlocker (2) did not work, A-PDF Restrictions Remover is better
    I tested a pdf-document, where I could not make comments with PDF-X-Change. There opened a DOS-Window so quickly, that I could not read the text. Then the pdf-file was as before. Free PDF Unlocker had no success and it cannot be installed on 64bit-Vista, only on 32bit-Windows.
    Then I tested the A-PDF Restrictions Remover (with the free 15 days-trial) with the same pdf-document. I could install (1) on a 64 bit-Vista, and after the very easy Restrictions removing with the context-sensitive menu I could comment the changed pdf-file with PDF-X-Change. So it seems to be necessary to pay the 9.99 $ for A-PDF Restrictions Remover.

    You can also Use Ghostscript GSview to open PDF files with owner password restrictions:
    The Ghostscript-based PDF viewer disregards Adobe security settings. You can print a restricted PDF file, convert it to other formats, or extract text content and export it as plain text. However GSview cannot remove or bypass user passwords.

    Details see:
