How do I convert PDF to EXCEL when the PDF is SECURITY PROTECTED and I cannot unprotect the file?

I have some statements from AMEX that are PDF SECURITY PROTECTED and I need to convert them to EXCEL to summarize them.

    Hi there,

    The only way around that is to get the password from AMEX so that you can unlock the PDF. As you've discovered, ExportPDF can't process files that are password protected.

    Best,

    A simpler way to bypass the adobe password protection, Print your pdf to PDF, then export or convert.

    They won’t give it to me or they claim they do not know how to do this.  Thanks.
