I password protect all of my sensitive and financial PDF documents. The downloaded PDF Chase Bank statements are already password protected and can't be modified. To get around this, I print the docs using "Microsoft Print to PDF" option. The new generated doc allows me to a add my password. 

Correct answer mppohl

One could EXPORT to a JPEG, each Page individually..and deal with them from there!

I can save the chase bank statements. However, I am unable to combine statements into one document. It states it is password protected. However, I do not know the password. Even if I save them using the Microsoft Print to PDF, I am unable to merge. Any thoughts?

We can't help you. The bank decided to password-protect the files, which also prevents them from being merged (unless you use a Portfolio). They are not likely to give you the password to allow removing the security policy, as that would defeat the entire purpose of applying it in the first place. It's possible they don't even know it themselves, if it's randomly generated.

Thank you for your help.
I figured that was the case but thought I would check.

I need to export my chase pdf statements into excel files, and you just gave me the workaround I was looking for.  Thanks!

No question, just a commit. I noticed that there were previous posts about financial statements being password protected. So I shared my "work around" with the protected Chase statements.
