EASY to use

A-PDF Restrictions Remover is extremely easy to use. Just right click the PDF file in Windows Explorer, and in the context-sensitive menu that pops up, select either the "Remove Restrictions" or "Remove Restrictions & Save as..." option. In just a few seconds, you will have a PDF file with no restrictions. You can edit, print, copy, and more with your PDF files.

And you can quickly adjust 'settings' so that the original restricted files are preserved with a .BAK extension, and/or have them save to a different default directory.

Note: The context-sensitive menu feature now does not work on a 64bit win OS, we are still trying to find a solution.

FAQ

Can the program remove the user password?

For removing user password prompts for opening your PDF file, you must initially provide the password. The program can not find the password automatically or simply delete it.

But you do not need input owner password, the program can delete it simply.

I can not see the options in context-sensitive menu popped up, why?

1, You must install the program using an administrator account

2, It may be caused by incorrect access control list (ACL) permissions on some registry hives. For repairing it, please use SubInACL tool of Microsoft and following the topic: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/739820.aspx

Can the program remove the Adobe DRM protection?

No. A-PDF Restrictions remover can only remove the protection of standard password with 40-bit, 128-bit RC4 or 128-bit AES encryption. It do not support Adobe DRM or other third part plug-in.
