Chase Bank statements are password protected

[BajaRoy]

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.

Definitely a PITA. Called Chase, they confirmed. I let them know how Bank of America allows us Redact function/edit function of those statements.

Best solution so far: Open PDF in Chrome/Web Browser > Safe as PDF > Open PDF In Illustrator (w/o Edit Features) > Save As PDF (Smallest Size is what I used) > Open in Acrobat > Edit Doc/Redact/Etc.

You'll still see that some content gets garbled and jarbled, but it's going to be enough [REDACTED].
