A-PDF Restrictions Remover

Remove password and restrictions of PDF files in a few seconds.

A-PDF Restrictions Remover is a Windows desktop application that removes password security and restrictions (e.g., printing, copying, editing) from standard password-protected PDF files. It supports 40-bit/128-bit RC4 and 128-bit AES encryption. The tool is accessed via a right-click context menu in Windows Explorer. It cannot remove user/open passwords automatically, nor can it remove DRM or non‑standard third‑party protections. A free 15‑day trial is available. The full version costs $9.99 with a 30‑day money‑back guarantee. A command‑line version is also available for batch processing and scripting.
