Solved

Bonjour,
Je reçois un document qu'on ne peut ouvrir qu'avec un Mot de Passe personnel, que j'ai bien évidemment; (il s'agit des résultat d'une analyse médicale). Mais mon problème est que, comme on ne peut l'ouvrir qu'avec ce MdP et qu'il est stocké dans mon ordinateur, je risque dans quelque temps de ne plus m'en souvenir.
Je voudrais donc savoir s'il est possible de le supprimer, sachant qu'actuellement j'y ai accès puisque je connais ce MdP. Je répète pour être bien clair; je ne demande pas comment forcer un MdP d'un document en PDF, mais comment supprimer le MdP quand on connait ce MdP.

Merci pour vos réponse.

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 100.0

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.

Hi

This is what I do too

(Hoping that, in his document, the printing is not locked either)

Hello,

You cannot delete it because you are not the one who registered it and the author is the only one authorized to do so, wishing that the document not be modified. However, you can either note it down in a safe place or make a copy of it (or even a screenshot).

Hello!

Yes..!!! We can delete it..!!! By doing a new PDF conversion of the original document. After that, you won't need the password anymore...

I just did it...

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..

Thank you for your response.
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...
