help with a locked adobe file
View this Thread in Original format

So the prof sent us a copy of a past final in .pdf format but the printing option was locked intentionally. Do any of you know how to unlock that? I'd greatly appreciate your help! :D

There are programs available to crack passwords for pdf files. I don't know if there's any good ones that are free. Google may hold those answers for you.

Can't be done .... normally


I had a job before that consisted of working with pdf files 95% of the time and most were unprintable :whip:


After googling around this might work if you have a gmail account:

I don't think it's a password issue because you simply can't change content protection on a DRM protected pdf file as far as I can tell.

If it's 5 pages or less, the trial version of this tool:

might do the trick. Perhaps there's a licensed version of it floating around somewhere as well.
