Remove PDF Document Restrictions

I always worry about software like this when I can’t find an author’s direct website. This program is available from many sites. But who is the author and does he have a webpage that describes program details? If not, why not?

Functionality like this is very useful. For instance, Adobe itself seems to protect its own info data sheets so you can’t copy text out. I don’t know why. But a program like this can get past that.

I have owned a similar payware product (Orvis PDF-Recover) for a couple of years and it works fine when I’ve had occasion to use it. A payware product like this could be a useful for companies that don’t like or won’t let you use freeware but yet want the same functionality (it’s only $28.50):

Be nice Martin if you could segregate the actual user comments in your posts from the linkback references like most other bloggers do. Who links back to you is of no interest to the user.

Interesting software! I’ll definitely bear this in mind for the future. Luckily haven’t had to edit any pdfs so far.

Wow. This tool was the BEST thing to happen to me today. I spent all day struggling with a stupid I9 form that the guv’ment decided to secure, thus preventing the editing/creating of Objects. My company’s software specifically requires the use of Objects on the documents so that we can populate data on these fields for our clients. I even called DHS on the phone, and got no help at all. Thanks a ton for this tool! It took about 4 seconds to fix my problem once I got it installed.

As best I can tell, all this is is a simple CMD script that uses GhostScript to open the PDF and then write it back out as a new PDF.

Note — v1.04 is broken. The CMD file has errors in it.

Change the CMD file to the following and it will work (for those who care, I fixed the set command to only take off “.pdf” and added the missing double quotes around the file names that should’ve been there — the script had a single, unbalanced double quote):

@echo off

echo.
echo This may take a minute, please wait.
