How to Unlock PDF Files and Remove Passwords

So you are the security conscious guy who loves passwords and codes. And so you have password protected your PDF files too. Oh yes, they are important and oho ho  ho they are “FOR YOUR EYES ONLY”. Wow.. But now you have so many files that you forgot the password of a file. Now what?

Luckily there is a program called PDF UNLOCKER and its free too.

you can unlock files and also remove the passwords with PDF Unlocker. This freeware tool unlocks the PDF using a Brute Force algorithm. PDFUnlocker saves the unlocked file separately and does not change the original file.

All you have to do is select the PDF file and specify the destination where the new PDF will be saved. Specify the minimum and maximum length of password. The counter on the bottom right will show how many Brute Force attacks had been done to unlock the document. More complicated password will take more time to unlock

It’s a portable application and does not require any installation. It’s a 2.69 MB download only. So go get it.
