As a PDF Printer, you must then select our previously installed PDF Printer "7-PDF Printer" in the print dialog. Then press "OK".

Acrobat Reader then prints the protected PDF and sends the print job to our PDF Printer. Our PDF Printer recognizes that the original PDF contains protected content and asks you to confirm the PDF creation without passwords.

Then a new PDF is generated without PDF passwords. Here under the file name "Test2.pdf".

The newly created PDF "Test2.pdf" from our current example, does not contain a user password that must be entered when opening the PDF file, nor does it contain password protection on contained PDF content.
