Works only with standard PDF files
RRDeFrankAugust 4, 2015
Pros
Handles files that are standard created PDF's.
Cons
Will not work with PDF's created under other programs like Adobe Live Cycle Designer. The "100% Satisfaction" guarantee on AWinware's website has a lot of buried requirements. (That detail is not shown on their purchase pages. You have to search for that detail.) I handle files created under a number of conditions. My initial test on a standard file worked with the trial. I purchased the product, tried a file created under Live Cycle, and it failed. I tried to get a refund. So far, I have not been successful.
Summary
Works like a charm, like it. great software!

Pros
Software allows you to decrypt multiple protected pdf files in a go! Like it. Decrypted my all pdf files quickly. Added support of file suffix prevent overwriting original pdf if you choose the same output directory. Tool does not ask for owner password to unlock document.
Cons
Trial version only saves two pages as output and asks to buy for full pdf decryption. Except it, all is well.
Summary
Overall, product works very well without any error message or warning. Thanks for great software, great pricing!

Pros
it didn't work.
Cons
i need to remove restrictions from pdfs that have no business being protected. instead of making the document accessible, it generated an error message.
Summary
X cannot handle iref streams. the current implementation of pdfsharp cannot handle this pdf feature introduced with acrobat 6. - ok -
Does exactly what it promises, fast

Pros
All text was unprotected even when I didn't have the password and I could copy and transfer to other documents. Could print the doc easily. It is fast!
Cons
There was no possibility of selecting (getting a snapshot) of the graphs in the document although I don't know if this is program or document related.
Summary
Good buy for 19.95 if you want to unportect PDF docs. Purchasing, downloading and activating the software was 100% hassle free.
