Not possible with Acrobat Reader. Use Adobe Acrobat on Windows or Mac.

Open the document in Acrobat Reader.

If you have the option to "Print to pdf" (available in MS Windows, but I'm not sure about iOS), then simply do that and it will prompt you regarding where to save the file. It will be saved without the password. Good Luck.

After putting in the password and opening the document, click on 'combine files', combine the open file and save it. When you open the document after you've combined and saved it, it won't be password protected.

It won't let you combine files that are read only

OK Bernd, you're just spamming pointless things on the forum. This isn't HELPFUL information. Get a grip my friend. Adobe Community Professional - yet you're misguiding users and not being helpful at all. Where is the option on Adobe Acrobat on iPad (iOS) to REMOVE passwords from documents? For me my workplace have set the password and of course I know it but because it is password protected it will not let me print and yes I have tried Google Drive and many other 3rd Party apps. Break it down for me because clearly DONT SEE IT. ITS NOT ANYWAY ON SCREEN OR IN THE DOCUMENT OPTIONS AT ALL. At this stage it becoming very annoying. People like myself are asking a SIMPLE question, which we require a STRAIGHT FORWARD and SIMPLE answer and if you cannot provide that, because it looks like you can't, I suggest you refrain from spamming pointless and useless information on the forum. People have obviously google'd and there does not seem a way. Hence why they are here. So I think it's better you don't comment. Either there is no option or it has to be a password set by the user themselves. So what is it? No option because the password has been set by someone else and there is no permission access? Or is it because I did not setup the password myself? Or maybe Adobe Acrobat is useless on iOS/Android and it's better to stick with PC and ask the workplace to send my the document again without the password.
