01

Unlock with the valid password

Select the protected PDF and choose NativeActions → PDF → Remove password. Enter the valid current password, then inspect the exported unprotected copy.

02

It is not password recovery

This operation needs the current password. It does not guess or crack a forgotten password. Obtain it from the document owner or use a valid unprotected source.

03

Handle the new copy carefully

The output no longer has that password protection. Keep it only where it should be accessible. The original protected document remains a separate file.
