Hi all,

 

I am trying to redact a number of contracts for our audit, adobe pro doesn't seem to allow me to do this. I noticed an option re untick restrict editing but it is asking for a password, it's not working on the password the document has to open it and I didn't set any other password on the contracts. Any ideas?

The document may have a second password to block editing. You have to get this from the document creator.

@Alice28206903sd2g 

The password asks for while changing the security setting is not the "Document Open Password".

In fact, the permission password allows you to make changes in the security setting of the PDF file.

This is generally set up by the creator when applying security. If you can't recall it or don't have it. Then you would not be able to change the document security. 

 

Thanks,

Akanchha
