• Unrestriction Works GREAT

  jbalboaJanuary 22, 2011

  Pros

  I had previously downloaded a different software which was unable to ready "this pdf format," but this "A-PDF Restrictions Remover 1.6.9" did the job in a couple of seconds. By the way, it's fully functional in demo mode.

  Cons

  NONE it works beautifully and extremely fast; over 1000 pages in a couple of seconds.

  Summary

  I will definitely purchase this excellent tool..!

• Works flawlessly!!

  BeepahMarch 7, 2010

  Pros

  Incredibly easy to use.

  Cons

  None yet, but then I have only used it once to "remove the restrictions" to one secure pdf file.

  Summary

  A reviewer of a previous version of "A-PDF" commented on not being able to save a pdf file after using "A-PDF." With this version I was able "remove the restrictions," highlight and add comments to what had been a secure pdf file, save it, and then open it. Highlights and comments were still there! I like what I see. When I don't, I will amend my review. FYI, I am using Foxit v. 3.1.4.1125

  What I use most is copying text for quotations I am citing. Great!

  I wish you could drag and drop into the box.

• Doesn't remove no-save restriction

  NeilRealtorAugust 12, 2009

  Pros

  I haven't had an opportunity to check the program for other restrictions besides not being able to save a PDF file.

  Cons

  See the next section.

  Summary

  I bought the program to be able to save a PDF that wouldn't allow saving. However, A-PDF Restrictions Remover didn't remove this restriction. To do that I ended up using PDF Creator. It is set up as a printer driver. When you print to PDF Creator it saves the file (also a PDF file that doesn't allow saving) to a PDF file. However, the saved file can't be edited after saving it. My rating only has to do with the incapability of the program to remove the no-save restriction.

• Nice utility for graphic designers

  NicelyMaliciousMarch 10, 2009

  Pros

  Works quickly, either inside the program or as a context menu in Explorer. Creates a backup of the restricted PDF. The trial actually lets you use the program, unlike some password recovery programs.

  Cons

  None that I can see.

  Summary

  In doing graphics work for the government, I frequently need to use a PDF as an image, but their random password protection makes it impossible to open some PDFs in Photoshop. I don't like screenshots because of the size, and opening the PDF in Photoshop makes it easier to work with than exporting to jpg in Acrobat. I looked for a password remover or recoverer, but this is much better. I especially like that it works as a context menu item, so using it is as easy as right-clicking. It also works by opening a file from inside the software for those who prefer to do it that way.

• This trial really works!

  titansheartOctober 23, 2008

  Pros

  For god sack, this trial totally remove the restrictions of my pdf files.

  Cons

  It add to the context menu 2 more command line, makes the menu more messy. There is no multi remove, quite tired... You have to pass an Enter key window, which is the fact of its trial periodic. Just 10$ to buy, none could slow you down like that.

  Summary

  Done hesitate to use this. It totally works. Take it!
