Nowadays every smart user depends on PDF document for storing their information and contents because it is the most secured file format which can’t be accessed by any unauthorized user. In order to make the PDF file more secure the user protects it with a password. Sometimes due to the presence of multiple PDF files the user forgets the password. So in this article, I am going to discuss how to open password encrypted PDF file without a password.
There are two types of password which are set in PDF Documents:-
- User’s Password- This password is entered to view the contents present in the PDF file. Without entering this password you cannot access the PDF file contents.
- Owner’s Password-It is necessary to enter the owner’s password because you can’t modify the content without entering the password. If you want to print the PDF file then also the owner’s password is needed.
So one thing is clear that you cannot do anything with the PDF file until and unless you don’t have a password. So I will tell you the various solution through which you can remove the PDF restrictions and access password protected PDF file.
