Hi,

I know there are many pdf unlockers that remove security options and owner passwords from PDF files. However, they all cost money.

Anyone know of any free, possibly open source, ones?

Thanks!

If your PDF's security options allow it to be printed, there's one real simple workaround: 'Save As PDF' in the Print dialog in Mac OS X.

It basically re-saves your PDF, only now with no restrictions on it, since it's basically a file spooled to a printer.
