    "Software needs to be updated."

    November 19, 2011  |   By marthamayer01

    Version: PDFArea PDF Protection Remover 4.0

    Pros

    Works on 40Bit RC4 Protection

    Cons

    Doesn't work on files protected by Adobe Acrobat 9 or letter version.

    Summary

    I tried it on several protected pdf files but as ill luck would have it it didn't work for me on most of the pdf files. 128-Bit AES protection might be the reason behind this failure. And yes dont download it for cracking user password as it wouldn't do that and a matter of fact most of the user pdf password remover available are just crap. But anyways if the only pdf owner password restrictions is the main concern for you, you can try this software called pdf security removal, personally tested by myself. Go here to know more about this product or to download free version of this tool

    "Didn't work"

    September 12, 2011  |   By gconnery

    Version: PDFArea PDF Protection Remover 4.0

    Pros

    May work fine for others

    Cons

    Did not work with the one file I tested.

    Summary

    Does not work with the one file I tested it with, which had Open Password restrictions. I even know the password. Click to add, prompts you to enter the password, but the file is NOT added to the list. Seems likely the app doesn't support Open Password protection. They don't say they do but they don't say they don't either. And no its not a limitation of the trial version I tested, at least according to the help file...

    Version: PDFArea PDF Protection Remover 4.0

    Pros

    If you have the password of the secured pdf you get functionality. Thats ok unless you are a hacker type user

    Cons

    I only got 150 out of 300 pp in the new unsecured pdf. That sucks.

    "Did not work"

    October 21, 2008  |   By divedogg

    Version: PDFArea PDF Protection Remover 2

    Pros

    I liked nothing at all about this product because it did not work. I would give it zero stars but that is not allowed.

    Cons

    Maybe I did something wrong, but I downloaded the tester and tried to use it on an Acrobat file that was blocked for printing. The program demanded that I supply the password! If I knew the password, I would not need this software in the first place.

    Summary

    Maybe it works on some files, but it did not work on the one I tried.
