Hello,

 

  I have a tax document that I user password protected.  DOH!  I forgot the password....  Is there a way to print or view the document, workaround?  Does Adobe provide a service?

    As far as I know, Adobe does not have any program that will break the protection on any document

    I do not necessarily need to open the document but if I could just print it out and manually fill in the information that would suffice.

    Once a password is set all Adobe software respects it. Adobe did not provide any "master key" to let you (or someone who got hold of your documents) unlock it anyway.

    How does you protect the file with Acrobat Reader?
