Document is Protected - How do I Enter Permissions Password?

[tomc92012983]

I am attempting to edit a document (that I initiated) and I'm told the document is protected and I need to enter a Permissions Password to proceed.

Can you help me?

If you don't know the password, no.

i know the password , but removing protection is failing

emoveProtectionOperation removeProtectionOperation = RemoveProtectionOperation.CreateNew();

// Set operation input from a source file.
FileRef sourceFileRef = FileRef.CreateFromLocalFile(@"test.docx");
removeProtectionOperation.SetInput(sourceFileRef);

// Set the password for removing security from a PDF document.
removeProtectionOperation.SetPassword("password");

// Execute the operation.
FileRef result = removeProtectionOperation.Execute(executionContext);

You can*t use this in Adobe Acrobat.

You mean this cant be done using adobe services api??

Adobe Acrobat doesn't have this API.

But i saw the unprotecting pdf functionality is available and working. Only docx unprotecting is not working.

Post the question in the forum for this API.

Having the same issue - set an unlock password for my own document but did not set a permissions password, now I cannot access the contend of the document! Adobe sort this out!
