PDF Password

[loreleib18153337]

I am creading PDF files from my pastel accounting. THey are secured and I have ot put a passowrd on how do I fix this so I can load these files on SARS website. SARS will not convert these PDF files due to the Password protection

So what's your question?

[loreleib18153337]

I need to know where do I get this password and how to remove it so the PDF document is no longer password protected

- Where to get it: From the people that applied it.

- How to remove it: Once you have it, open the file in Acrobat, and go to File - Security and select No Security, then enter the password. You'll only be able to do it if there isn't a File-Edit password, too, or if both passwords are the same.

How have you created the PDF file? 

[loreleib18153337]

It is created through Pastel Accounting directly

Looks like that the software adds the password protection.

Interestingly, "Unfortunately, you cannot decrypt the PDF files created via Pastel Version 11 and all other Versions that came after Version 11, as this was a requirement from SARS that all PDF files should be encrypted. We do not have a password to use on the encrypted pdf document."  https://www.sagecity.com/za/sage-pastel-accounting-south-africa/f/sage-pastel-partner-advantage-sout...

Thank you so much for the help. Its very frustrating that SARS has requested these but you can not upload them on SARS like that so you have to print and rescan to upload to SARS supporting documents.
