Remove protection from PDF to perform OCR

Post by philjv »

Support request for PDF-Xchange PRO Editor Plus Version: 10.1.2, build 382 (Enhanced OCR) software.

Got a secured password protected PDF (likely created with Adobe) which blocks performing OCR. What is the best way to remove the protection to perform OCR?

Please support.

Hello philjv,

You would need to contact the author of the document and request a non-protected copy.
If the author wants the file protected - we can not remove the protections for you even if it to do OCR on that file, sorry.

Kind regards,
Stefan
