I password protect all of my sensitive and financial PDF documents. The downloaded PDF Chase Bank statements are already password protected and can't be modified. To get around this, I print the docs using "Microsoft Print to PDF" option. The new generated doc allows me to a add my password. 

Correct answer mppohl

One could EXPORT to a JPEG, each Page individually..and deal with them from there!

I can save the chase bank statements. However, I am unable to combine statements into one document. It states it is password protected. However, I do not know the password. Even if I save them using the Microsoft Print to PDF, I am unable to merge. Any thoughts?

Print it as a PDF and save it. The security is automatically removed and then you can combine them. Did this for my Chase CC statements.

Yeah but did you see what it does to the file size-10x the original bloated download size.  And Portfolio doesn't work without the password......  I need to merge for several accounts for CPA submittal.  I cannot combine by year or extract irrelevant pages to try and get a reasonable file size.  Very frustrating.  At this point I would save time just printing and scanning.  Chase needs to stop the nanny-state control of your own documents.  Ridiculous.


I understand your concern. Fortunately I'm not combining files. I have
various financial institutes that I deal with and Chase is the only one
that is so restrictive. Maybe we'll get lucky in the future. Until then, we
have to continue to jump through hoops.

I need to export my chase pdf statements into excel files, and you just gave me the workaround I was looking for.  Thanks!

No question, just a commit. I noticed that there were previous posts about financial statements being password protected. So I shared my "work around" with the protected Chase statements.
