I have a PDF file with both an owner password and a user password. I know the user password, but I need to edit this PDF file which is a locked out option because of the owner password.

All the software I've found to edit when there is an owner password seems to crash because of the user password (the encryption I'm guessing), and I can't find any that will allow me to input my user password in order to remove the owner.

Any advice? I'm running brute force for now, but the user PW is 11 char and I'm sure the owner is at least that long...



Here is for your efforts, and more on delivery of working solution:

Here's how you'd do it if you have Adobe Acrobat. If you have any other type of pdf compiler, read between the lines and make adjustments.

Open your pdf in any pdf reader with your user password. On the top menu bar, select file> print and select Acrobat Distiller. Mash the print button.

Close your pdf, open up Acrobat and go to file> open> program files> Adobe> PDF Output, then find the pdf you just printed and open it.

Select file> save as> and at the bottom of the box that pops open, is a security settings box. Select none and save the file with a new name. Make your edits and resave it, with a new password, if you want.

Now then, bobbies for all my friends!
 
That doesn't work, unfortunally. It restricts DPI down to like 100 if I print, plus it is over 6,000 pages and about 700mb, which makes it freeze when I try this at around page ~300 :(

Free boobs for the post, though.

Sorry that didn't work for you but thanks for the boobies.

6000 pages?! What the fuck is that, Al Gore's electric bill?
 
OK, wait... I have another idea.

Shit! Nevermind... I spoke too soon. From here' it looked like it would work at first but doesn't.

I got PDF Password Remover v3.0, but every time I use it the output is just blank pages. This seems the case for any other program I use as well...

DAMN THIS IS FRUSTRATING!!! lol...
