Downloaded PDF from TD Bank not editable.

Explorer ,
Oct 13, 2018 Oct 13, 2018

TD Bank's statements are downloaded as Secure PDFs.  In order to edit (I like to highlight them as I reconcile my balance each month) I need to enter a Permissions Password.  I called the bank and they said it's something I need to do within my software.   I'm using Acrobat Pro DC 

Help please!!!

Thanks.

Yes, they don’t issue passwords and their call centre staff won’t know about them. But there will be a password to lock out editing. Most banks seem to do this strange and inconvenient thing.

I eventually found a work-around.

"Print to Microsoft PDF" and save with another file name.

oh for anyone wondering my workaround/workflow on OSX Catalina was open the statement pdf in Preview and then:

 

File > Export as PDF... and the resulting file will be editable/saveable 

(because at some point I have spent hours marking up a pdf only to realise my marks would not be saved, and there was much gnashing of teeth and renting of garments and wailing)

I have figured it out!  Open you bank statement in google chrome.  Click file-print-save as pdf.  And now you can edit in adobe pro!

Hey man, just for you know. I ran in the same kind problem.

I founded out if you send the pdfs to your email (gmail) and click on PRINT straight from the email thread (don't download the files) then, from print save as PDF, re-name it. After that you should be able to open in photoshop/illustrator/indesign etc... 😃 you are welcome.

Thank you - I tried several of the above suggestions which did not work on Mac Catalina but the above did. Opening the statement in goggle - saving as PDF - and yes can now edit to highlight. Huge help.
