Remove a PDF password you already have
If a PDF opens with a password you know, type that password and download a copy that no longer asks for it. The copy keeps the pages. Bookmarks and file attachments may not come along. If the file is not locked, you get a normal copy and a note that it was already open. A wrong password stops there. This tool does not try common passwords, word lists, or other guesses.
After it is open, you can compress the PDF, merge it, or extract the text to Word.
