No, there are no other options (currently) except to use the desktop version. Passwords cannot be removed from PDFs using Acrobat Reader for Mobile. 

 

The Acrobat team uses the UserVoice site for feature requests where the engineers track the requests and others can upvote. You can make your request here:

https://acrobat.uservoice.com/

 

If you do, please post the link back into this thread so others will see it and upvote. I'll be the first!

While passwords can be set in the mobile app, you need the desktop app to remove them.

 

See this post from Adobe Employee @AkanchhaS8194121 about passwords in Acrobat for Mobile for details:

"You can remove the password with desktop Acrobat (you must know the original password)."

Hi @Vijay khurava,

 

As Jane already mentioned about the feature on the desktop version, you can check the help article here to learn more about removing passwords from a PDF.
