How to create password free PDF from password protected PDF(Google Drive/Docs Way)
Note: This is for the PDF files for which password is already known but want to create unprotected PDF file
PDF is one of the most stable,compact and most
of the times read-only document, which is now popularly used by many to share
information be it articles, forms, whitepapers or journals.
What is PDF?
"The Portable
Document Format (PDF) is a file format developed
in the 1990s to present documents, including text formatting and images, in a manner
independent of application software, hardware,
and operating systems. Based on the PostScript language,
each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat
document, including the text, fonts, vector graphics, raster images and other information
needed to display it. PDF was standardized as an open format,
ISO 32000, in 2008, and does not require any royalties for its
implementation." - Wikipedia(PDF)
There are number of ways to remove password,
some are online websites and others are offline methods. I mostly choose Google
Chrome or Drive because on chrome you don't have to online
Option 1 - Steps to Remove
the Password (Chrome Browser)
1. Open Chrome
Browser.
2. Drag &
Drop protected file on browser or Right click on the file and Open with Chrome.
3. The idea is to
open file in chrome browser.
4. The browser
will ask for the password
5. Click on printer icon to the top right corner of the browser
6. Click
on change option
7. Select
Save as PDF option
8. Click
Save
9. Provide
the location on your device.
Done!
Option 2 - Steps to Remove the Password (Without Chrome Browser)
If you do
not want to use chrome then you can use cloud feature of Google using Google
Drive.
1.
Create or Open a Google Account
2. Upload the password protected file to Google Drive
3. Double click to open the file and Google ask to open the file
Rest is same as Option 1...
This is however not the only way to remove the password from PDF
but this the easiest and convenient way to do it, in my opinion.
