Hii Edwin !!
As I can see that you have tried Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, but it not working because you don’t have a permission password. Then, in case I am suggesting a manual method by using a chrome browser.
Follow these simple steps to remove restrictions manually:
1. Firstly, open the restricted PDF file in google chrome.
2. Then, select the printing option and save a copy of the PDF file in your system.
3. Now, the file saved as the copy is free from all restrictions.
Now you can edit your content, as required.

It is known as Adobe acrobat pro,you just need to follow the given process:

Step 1: If you do not already have Adobe Acrobot PRO pro, install it on your computer. You may use it’s 7 days free trial by given link

Step 3: Check its permissions by first clicking on >> FILE then click on>> properties, you can see an image which describes all the PDF permissions.
Step 4: After checking permissions, you can change the desired permissions by selecting no security from security method:-
Step 5: After choosing No Security, you have to provide the password of the secured PDF file:-
Step 6: After giving the password, you can easily see the next window in which all the permissions are removed.
