This removes the password from a file you can already open, producing an unprotected copy. It requires the current password: it decrypts a document you have the right to read, and cannot break into one you do not.
This decrypts a document you can already open. It cannot recover or bypass a password you do not have.
Encrypted files cannot be indexed, searched or OCR'd. Documents are normally decrypted once they are inside a secure repository.
Treat this as a permissions question rather than a technical one. Only remove protection from documents you own or are authorised to handle.
If the file leaves your systems later, apply a fresh password with Add Password to PDF.
If the file opens but will not let you print or copy, it is permissions rather than encryption, and Change Permissions is the tool. If a form's fields are locked, that is Unlock PDF Forms. Remove Password is specifically for a document that demands a password before it will open at all.
No. You must supply the current password. There is no way to recover or bypass an unknown one.
Encrypted files cannot be indexed, searched or OCR'd by most systems, so protection is usually removed once a document is inside a secure repository.
Only on documents you own or are authorised to handle. Treat it as a permissions question, not a technical one.
So the document can be OCR'd, indexed and searched inside a document management system, none of which work on an encrypted file.
No. Only the encryption is removed.
Only where they share a password. Otherwise process them individually.
These tools handle one document at a time. When the job is thousands of files, Greenbooks handles document digitization as a managed service, including bulk scanning, OCR and metadata capture, with the output loaded into DocuVenta DMS. Talk to us about volume work.
