Remove PDF passwords using a virtual PDF printer
Authored by: AndiSkater on Nov 16, '05 02:33:43AM

There is a very easy way to get rid of the PDF protection:

Use the Quartz-Filters Action in Automator to create a »Generic PDFX-3 document« from the protected pdf.

PDFX-3 documents can't have a copy protection, so when you create one the protection is automatically removed.

Produces just a bunch of white pages. Wonder whether the latest security update disabled this.
