I am unable to use password protected PDFs that my school provides for me. When I try to open the PDF in Adobe, It’s asking for the password. How this can be resolved?

I have tried several apps such as Notable and Lumin but neither app allows me to remove password boxes within the PDF.

This is a pretty crushing error and unfortunately will prevent me from completing my college assignments.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Dear Dexter
The creator of a PDF add password security to a document to prevent unauthorized users from viewing the PDF. To open this type of document, enter the password when prompted. If the PDF creator has not shared the password with you, you cannot open the PDF.

Hello All
I am also having the similar problem
The PDF viewer display password protected PDF but it doesn’t print them. The print preview shows up blank and it will subsequently print blank pages. Printing is allowed from the document restrictions. Adobe’s plugin as well as desktop applications allow printing of the document without any issues.

hello Barry
The PDF Creator has shared the password with me. But the most irritating part is whenever I try to open the PDF it always asks it and I enter that. Then the file opens. I want to completely remove this password restrictions in my PDF.
