Anyone have a quick/small program that will remove security restrictions on PDF files? Someone gave me a PDF document that needs me to fill out information - but I'd much rather do it on the PDF itself then print it out than to have to write everything on paper.

Note.. doing this at work, so links to crack/hack sites won't do me any good. /rude firewall.

Thanks!

Haha, good fucking luck.

There's a billion of them out there, but I haven't found a 'free' one yet.

Every PDF breaker I've ever tried has sucked horribly.

Wouldn't it be easier to just download Acrobat Professional and then fill it out in that?

Acrobat only converts to PDF, not from.
Document lockdown is sorta kinda the entire point of PDF.

You can open PDFs for editing in Illustrator.

Right, but you can edit PDF files if you have the Professional version. I was just thinking that maybe if he had that he could open the file and fill out the fields and print it out. That's what I did for my mortgage application!

That form would have had editable fields.

Have your secretary do it.

Nope, I put some in it though. I didn't have a fax machine at home at the time so that was the only way I could do it semi-easily.

Mortgage app is exactly what I'm trying to edit. I do have Acrobat Pro and can edit PDF files.. but not ones that are password protected with editing turned off/protected. That's why I'm looking for a cracker so that I can save an unprotected version, open that one in Acrobat Pro and edit it.

Just get your wife to fill it out.
