I have a very important PDF that I need to get finished and sent to people, but it automatically put a protected password and I don't know how to get into it. Can anybody please help me?

Hi Kellie_Martin2750,

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

When you say, "Get finished and sent to people," do you mean to fill out the document and send it for signature? Please share more information on your steps, after which the document is protected with a password. It will help us understand what is happening and share the correct information.

 

If you used Acrobat Sign to fill out and sign the document, the file will be encrypted after that. It is not possible to make any changes to that document. Please use the prefill feature if you need to fill out the form and send it for signature. You may refer to the steps suggested in the following help document: https://helpx.adobe.com/sign/using/prefill-forms-field-before-sending.html

 

Let us know if you need any help.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi
