How to remove a password from a PDF document?

[Quattro Pete]

I have a PDF document that requires a password in order to open it. I know the password, but I want to save it as a PDF document that no longer requires a password. What do I need for that?

I have Adobe Reader and cutePDF (printer). I tried printing the document using cutePDF in order to create a new PDF, however, that didn't work - the contents of the saved PDF are just blank, or rather it just says:

Quote:

ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: get
STACK:
/quit
-dictionary-
-mark

You will need Adobe Acrobat for saving an unlocked version of the file.

Try the Sumatra PDF Portable to see if that one does the trick.

Thanks. Sumatra lets me save it, but the saved file is still password-protected, just like the original. I don't see an option in Sumatra to remove the password before saving.

You might wanna look here if you don't mind using bit torrent.

CutePDF might use some of the adobe DLLs which is why the password sticks around.

I have an independent (?) program called PDFCreator (boring name) that might work.

If you want to PM me I could do it for you and we could exchange emails. I have Acrobat here at work and at home. As long as its something that you don't mind me seeing?
