Box1220
Pros
Works, removes pdf passwords that restrict editing and printing.
Cons
Does not remove passwords to open document. Most of them don't or they run forever trying to find the password by elimination
Summary
No malware. Must be a scaremongerer at work. As if CNET would host a malware-infected program. Scanned before opening just to make sure and the file came back OK. There were no offers to decline either, I just didn't download the latest version when the program first opened.
DON'T INSTALL MALWARE!!! EVERYONE IS RIGHT
marlonnight
Pros
NONE! I REITERATE THIS HAS MALWARE. HIJACKS YOUR BROWSERS BOTH CHROME AND IE. INSTALLS
TROVI SEARCH WITH BING. YOU CANNOT CHANGE BACK TO DEFAULT HOPE PAGE
Cons
I installed it directly and installed using custom. There were two programs that were to be added automatically if you didnt uncheck. I unchecked and as I hit continue I saw in a blink that the two had been checked. I thought well I unchecked them maybe it was a fluke. Well I got it. I am going to send an email to CNET. I have always trusted them, but now I see they don't live up to their promises.
Summary
AWESOME - Worked perfectly, and no hassle

Cons
BE SURE to click DECLINE 6 or 7 times when installing. Typical CNET sneakiness, tries to install bunch of crap ware. Click decline and you're godd.

Shilpgi29
Pros
it makes copying text from a PDF file so easy.
Cons
I just need it crack an Open Password protected PDF file. It cannot. I contacted the support service. They said removing Open Password from a PDF file without authorized password is illegal. Who cares. I only want to open an PDF without a password. Now finally, I am settled with another similar tool named PDF Password Remover for Mac
www.pdf-file-converter.com/pdf-password-remover-for-mac/
and it lived up to my expectations. The only thing missing is that it (PDF Password Remover) does not print password protected PDF files. But still would recommend it!
Summary
It is such a superb app that allows me to remove PDF restriction on PDF copying and printing.
Did the job. A bit "messy" Interface.

Messy Interface. Internet site on download.com is crowded With ads that contain malware! Bee careful, I was infected!
