Opening a password protected PDF file
From HowToGeek.com
From wikiHow
This wikiHow teaches you how to view or print a
password-protected PDF file's contents. There are two types of secure PDFs:
user-locked, which means you need a password to view the contents, and
owner-locked, which means you need a password to copy, print, or otherwise
modify the PDF's contents. While unlocking a user-locked PDF without the
password is impossible without purchasing software, you can unlock an
owner-locked PDF in a few ways.
Using Google Chrome
1.
Open Google
Drive. If you
aren't already logged into your Google account, you'll need to do so now with
your Gmail address and password.
2.
Click and drag your PDF into Google Drive. You
can also click New in the top right corner of the Google Drive
Window, click File Upload, select your PDF, and click OK to
upload it.
3.
Double-click your selected PDF. If it's a
user-locked PDF, you'll need to enter a password and click Submit to
view its contents.
4.
Hold down Ctrl and tap P. This will open the
"Print" screen.
If the PDF is user-locked, you'll need to enter the
password and then use the Print shortcut again.
5.
Click Change. This option should be beneath the "Destination" heading
on the left side of your screen.
6.
Click Save as PDF. This option is under the "Local Options"
heading in the "Select a Destination" window.
7.
Click the blue Save button. It's in the top left corner of this
screen. Doing so should download the PDF to your computer as an unsecure file.
You may have to select a save location before your
file properly downloads.
8.
Double-click your downloaded PDF.
9.
Click File. This is in the top left corner of the screen.
10.
Click Properties. It's about halfway down the File drop-down
menu.
11.
Click the Security tab.
12.
Look at the "Security Method" line. It
should say "No Security", thereby proving that your PDF is no longer
locked.
This is at the top of the Properties window.
