Hello,
I received a document that can only be opened with a personal password, which I obviously have; (it's the results of a medical analysis). But my problem is that, since it can only be opened with this password and it is stored on my computer, I risk not remembering it in some time.
So I would like to know if it is possible to remove it, knowing that I currently have access to it since I know this password. I repeat to be clear; I am not asking how to force a password on a PDF document, but how to remove the password when I know this password.
Thank you for your response.

Hello,
When the document is opened (with the password), make a PDF print.
You start a print job and select the virtual printer Microsoft Print to PDF.
The result of the print job is the creation of a new PDF file that is strictly identical to the one you opened, but without a password!
You save it under an explicit name, like "Analyses du 13 mai"; the file will automatically have the PDF extension.
Make sure to note in which folder the file is saved and change it if necessary.
Don't forget to change the printer afterwards when you have a paper print to do!
What is well conceived is clearly stated,
And the words to say it come easily.

If it's a password at startup, you can change it since you know it...
However, you need Acrobat "pro" to do that..
But you say it's stored on your computer.. It could also be a certificate and that's not the same thing..

But how to know if it's one or the other?
To give more details, it is the results of a medical analysis that I received from the laboratory attached to an email, which requires a password to open, stating that the document is protected. I don't know more.

In your wallet, right next to your health insurance card, you write down this password.
If you're afraid that someone with ill intentions might use it, write it backward, or in Greek, or Arabic, or Japanese, or Russian, or Hindi, or Korean...

This is what I do too
(Hoping that, in his document, the printing is not locked either)
