Is there a way to remove security from a pdf file so that I can copy its contents to a word document?

[ket]

i think ive found your solution buddy, or maybe no..

1st - open the pdf document
2nd - click on the font thing on acrobat reader (the symbol is a T)
3rd - select all text, then select copy
4th- open word and then paste

i think thats all but.. if by remove security you mean, being able to click the font thing, i dont know..

Use PDF Password Remover.
search for it in google as i can't remember the site location now.
also the pro version of acrobat 7 can remove protection.

I have Adobe Pro 7 and I don't see how to remove the security. Please explain.

you can use Passware software from here it supports many file formats and contains PDF too ... but it's not a free software.

I never really understood the PDF password protection. I mean the data is all there, and not encrypted or anything, it just is an annoying little obstacle I have to pass when I need to copy something from one that doesn't let you copy. This was most annoying when my AP computer science class was learning the marine biology case simulation, and all the questions were online in a pdf. But instead of letting us copy the questions over to save us 15 minutes, no we had to type them over. I guess college board is way too worried of somebody stealing their precious Marine Bio CS code.... I mean seriously, that was the stupidest project I've ever done. Anybody who wants to ever use that code for anything must be out of their minds...

Amazing! I posted this 2 years ago! Anyways, the PDF Password Remover software really works. You have to buy the licensed one since the trial version only allows you a few pages of effective copy and paste.

Hey could you please elaborate your problem more is it problem in the password with your pdf file that is if it is password encrypted. Or if you just want to select text and copy it in the word document because this is fairly easy and one member already gave you answer on this question.

Replying to galexcd
I use print screen on pdf, paste it in mspaint, keep only the text from the image, and then import the image to word :p
Our teachers do the same thing...
