Remove password from PDF with Reader 9.0?

Hi,
We would like to know if a user opens a protected PDF (with 128/256 bits encryption) in Acrobat Reader 9.0,
can the user save a copy of the protected PDF and the new PDF is no longer password protected.
That means I would like to check if the reader 9.0 can allow user to remove the password (Of course, permission
should be granted when creating the protected PDF in Acrobat 9.0) from the protected PDF file.
Thanks for your attention in advance,
Raymond

Reader cannot remove password protection. It only reads files.

How can i remove password from pdf file that i lost password to

i have 2 pdf's that are atleast 6 months old i need to check information in i dont ever remember putting a password on them but i cant gain access to them...any ways i can remove these password?

Adobe Reader can't remove passwords at all. Adobe Acrobat can, but only if you know what the password is.

Can't open libHaru-generated PDF with Reader, other readers work.

Our application uses libHaru to export PDF images. These PDFs can be opened using PDFlite on Windows, Preview on Mac and some other readers. However, I have tried several versions of Adobe Reader on both platforms and the files fail to open with the message: "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (14)." So, it seams that Adobe Reader believes that there is problem with this file. However, from my very limited understanding of PDF structure, I have no idea what might be wrong, so I don't know how to fix it. The file is written unencrypted. It is about as simple a PDF as we can generate - a red-filled rectangle. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help.
Here is a sample PDF:

Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a pasword in the view password window and now it not asking me to remember and also it is not remembering the password when I go

Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a password for a site that was not remembering the correct password for the "view password" window and now it does not guess the password and does not remember the password for that site. All other sites are being remembered.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I deleted the password from the view password window.

The saved password feature worked well, but the site I had saved the password for required that I change the password. I have found no way to update the password in Firefox. After I deleted the saved password, Firefox did not ask if I wanted the new password saved. When this happened before, I removed and re-installed Firefox, and then it worked. I hope there is another way to update a password.

Programmatically generate password for pdf with data from database

Good day everyone,
I would like to know is it possible to programmatically generate passwords for pdf??
The main idea is to enable an automated process of pdf acquiring individualised password from a database (Excel, Access, you name it) and finally sending the pdf to individual recipient. Can I use javascript for this? And if yes, how?? If not, pls do advice me on the appropriate steps.
Background (for clarity's sake):
Currently I am working on developing an automated process for the sending customised, password encrypted payslip to about 80 staff. The entire procedure is pretty much summarized as below:
mail merg (UBS output in) excel to words -> convert words to pdf -> programmatically password encrypt the pdf -> email to individual recipients.
Well my current status is - I am quite done with the batch mail merge and convertion part. And batch proccessing of password encryption is not a problem, but the idea is to allow acrobat to retrieve password automatically from a database and not key-in each and every password manually. The batch email for now is another problem but for now I have to work stepwise. (Any ideas on how to do it would equally be valued though! =D)
System and software using:
Windows XP and 7 Professional
Microsoft Office Proffesional 2010
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
I would be really grateful for any relevant replies to my question and any additional thoughts or ideas are welcome!!
I would to thank any potential saviour in advance!
Thank you for helping!

Basically I need to automate the password generation from database extract
e.g. Excel database with StaffID, StaffName, PayMonth, etc. Then when the pdf is created, its password would be <StaffID>_<PayMonth> which is extracted from excel.
Is it possible for this to happen?? I dont mine using Javascript, I'll just have to learn it.
Or how about recommending a program which does that??
Whichever is fine as long there's a solution!
Thanks!

Removing Security from PDFs in Batch (v10)

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro X. I need to remove the security from multiple PDFs with the same password. I found instructions online at: http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobatforlifesciences/2010/04/removing_security_from_pdfs_in/
However these instruction do not help as the command have changed. Also unable to set the Action Wizard to accomplish the task.

Removing password on PDF

Does Mac OS X offer anything for removing the password from a password protected PDF? I purchased an ebook PDF that is password protected. I have the password but don't want to type it in each time I open the PDF.

There might not be a free solution for you at this time, I'm afraid.
What would be nice is for Apple's Preview app to be able to retrieve PDF passwords from your keychain. You would then need to enter the password only once, and from that point on it would just grab it from your keychain. But unfortunately that is not a feature that is currently supported by Preview. You might wish to send Apple a feature request and see if they build that functionality into a future Mac OS X release.

Error when opening =any= PDF with Reader

Hi! Since installing the new Reader software, I keep getting the same error message whenever I try to open =any= PDF, from those on my system for some time to those just downloaded.
The error message says:

I can open any PDF with Sumatra or Foxit, so it's not in the file...

Hi Bruce,
Are you using EMET Antivirus? I have seen the issue caused due to this. Try disabling it and check.
I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
BEFORE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
AFTER:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
Regards,
Rave

Acrobat 8 standard - Removing pictures from PDF files

I hope this is an easy one to answer but I'm having troubles removing pictures from a PDF file and I need some help, can anyone answer please?

If standard has the Object touchup tool, you can select them and then delete them. I suspect that this may have the same problem as the redact tool as mentioned by graffiti.

What matter with a pdf with Reader Extensions when it's open with Acrobat profesional?

Hi all
I'm trying to learn about the functionality of LC using Tour de LiveCycle. It is an exceptional documentation!
I'm taked the 2 examples about reader extensions functionnality:
PurchaseOrderExtended.pdf and PurchaseOrder.pdf
I've open PurchaseOrder.pdf with acrobat profesional and...I could insert comments, save as, signed the pdf...
Opening it with Acrobat Reader this is not possible
Then
If the company decide to produce a PDF with the "1, 2, 3" funcionalities of reader extensions but not enabling the "4 and 5" funcionalities.....
Someone that opens this PDF with acrobat profesional has the "1,2,3,4 and 5" functionalities available
Then
The functionality strategy of the company based on the pdf it's not operative!
Where is the mistake?
TIA

There are two possible philosophies for Reader Extensions:
1) That it is a scheme to limit the the actions that one can take on a PDF; think of this as a sort of a security profile operation
2) To provide PDF-based access to capabilities on the PDF without having to buy the full Acrobat Standard/Pro.
Reader Extensions is much more model 2 than model 1. The goal is to allow people to save filled-in forms, sign pdf or comment on the pdf without having to have the full Acrobat std/pro licensed for their desktop. So two other things derive from this:
a) That people who have the full Acrobat version should be able to do anything to the file that they desire
b) But also that they should be aware of actions that they might take on the PDF that would change the file so substantially that it would lose its rights and the ability of downstream Reader users to act on the file.
This (2, and then a and b) is the basic philosophy of Reader Extensions and Acrobat.

Can't seem to save non-English as text from PDF using Reader

I have several PDF documents that were originally generated by OpenOffice from a UTF8-encoded text file. The text is in different languages, e.g. Korean, Arabic, Russian, English. When I open these documents and then "save as text", the resulting text files contain garbage or nothing at all in all cases except for English. Is it possible to extract non-English text from a PDF document using Reader? If not, is there a different product that could be used for this purpose? Thanks much!

They're using fonts that you don't have on your system so no, it isn't possible with Reader.

Remove password from .pst file

Dear Support,
How to remove forgetten password from .pst file.
I use OS win7 professional and Ms office 2013. So please help me for removing forgetting pst password.
When I add pst file in new outlook. Then Pst file ask password.
please help me.
I will be thank ful to you.

the goals of a password is to protect the contents from anyone who does not know the password.
As far as I know, there are no tools provided by Microsoft to remove, alter or read the password from a protected pst file. It might even violate local laws to do so.
https://support.office.com/en-ca/article/I-forgot-my-Personal-Folders-file-pst-password-cfaec399-0de7-4f8f-a81b-918b38867ed6
Some third parties might claim to have tools that remove, alter or read the pst password, but I should urge you to be prudent when testing/using such tools (or paying for them).
