hello everyone how are you doing
this is md tech here with another quick
tutorial
in today's tutorial i'm going to show
you guys how to remove a password
from a pdf meaning if you want to
save a pdf as just a regular pdf without
being password locked
so right off the bat we're not hacking
or
modifying the pdf to gain access to it
this assumes you already have a password
on the file
and you just want to save it in a format
that does not require people to enter in
a password every time they want to open
the file
so basically just removing the password
from the
password locked file so pretty
straightforward again you need to know
what the password is you want to proceed
this video we're not going to be
trying to hack into some password locked
file go somewhere else you're not going
to see any of that nonsense
on this channel so please do not waste
my time
looking at any comments in the comments
section saying that
you were unable to bypass a password
okay that's not what this tutorial
is going to show you so you're going to
be just very disappointed
and there is always a couple of you guys
out there so
anyway we're going to go ahead and jump
right into it so i'm just going to show
you guys first i do have this pdf on our
desktop here
and if i open it up it doesn't matter it
opens up an edge or adobe reader but you
can see it asks for a password here
so i know what the password is it's
literally just password
so you can see that it just says hello
but you have to enter in that password
every time you want to open up that pdf
so what we're going to do to resolve
this is open up google chrome
i believe you can do this with other
browsers as well but i'm going to use
google chrome for
today's tutorial because i like google
chrome
as you can tell if you watch my channel
and what we're going to do is just drag
and drop this password locked file
into the browser window here so you can
see it says copy
just drop it right into the browser
screen
and it will prompt you for a password
which is to be expected we're going to
type in
password this is to be expected so just
type in whatever your password is
we're going to enter that in and now you
see the pdf is listed here you can see
what the contents are
what we're going to do is print it so if
you want to tap control p
on your keyboard or you want to just
load this little print icon or if you
want to go up here and select print you
can
whichever way you want to do it's fine
with me in
destination you want to set this to save
as pdf
and make sure that it's set to save as
pdf very important
go ahead and select save
and now for file name name whatever you
want i'm just going to say
no password file
and just going to save that
and you can minimize that here and we're
just going to go ahead and open up the
no password file now and it should not
require a password to view it
please know we're not actually uploading
this file to google chrome you can see
the directory up here
it's just showing it's a file there's a
built-in pdf reader
in microsoft edge as well as the other
browsers too so you can see
that it's not actually uploading it to
some website or
questionable domain it's literally still
on your computer here it's just using
the browser to display it
is the best way i would use to describe
it and there you go guys simple as that
you don't need to enter a password
anymore on this file
but you just don't confuse it with the
original file because that's still going
to have a password locked
component to it maybe you want to delete
it or remove it somewhere else
but now you want to work on the no
password file or whatever you want to
name it's fine
just keep in mind you're going to have
two files now that are basically the
same except one's going to be password
locked and the other is not
so just account for that accordingly so
as always thank you guys for watching
this brief tutorial
do hope that i was able to help you out
and i do look forward to catching you
all in the next tutorial
goodbye
