Removing encryption from the pdf's

Yes ... it is very easy. Once you have the file open you go into the file menu under Document Security. Click on "Change Settings" and uncheck the box for "Password Required to Open Document". Then when you save it the password will no longer be required.

This would only work for Adobe Acrobat, not just the reader, right?

OOPS ... I didn't think of that since we have the full blown Adobe here at work ...

You may be right! OUCH!!

... just upgraded my acrobat reader, so i assume you need the full version of Acrobat since i can't find what Stu was talking about...

Yep ... you need the full version of Acrobat to perform any save function at all.

I ran into this problem when trying to fillout college application PDF's!
