I created a password protected document with Acrobat Pro version 9. I need to change the document but Acrobat Pro 9 won't allow me to do that. How do I modify the document?

Macintosh
Acrobat SDK and JavaScript
Security digital signatures and esignatures

I don't create password documents, so this is only a GUESS as to what I would do

Open your document with your password

Do a "save as" to a new document with NO password

Edit that new document

Seems reasonable but I tried that and the created file required the same password. I finally figured it out. You need go to file menu and select "save a copy". It will ask for your password then you go to the file menu and select properties and select no security. That worked.

Thanks for your input.
