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 softwarehardware, 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.
