Step 1: Free Download and install PDF Password Rescuer.
Step 2: Run PDF password rescuer. Click the Open icon on the top left. Browse to the (*.pdf) file whose password you would like to remove.
Step 3: Choose an attack mode from the type of attack pull down list. You are highly advised to choose Mask if you still know some character(s); otherwise you can choose Smart or Brute force.
