I found an old PDF file on my server that I wanted to read, but it had a password. After some guesing I figured out the password, but I thought to myself ” Gee. Wouldn’t it be nice if I didn’t have to type in a password anymore.” After some googling I found a simple to use command line tool for linux. Basically what the program does is convert the password protected PDF file into a postscript file and then back into a password-free PDF file. Here is the Guide I Found detailing how to do it with Ubuntu. I ran into a few issues, but take a look for yourself and see if it helps you.
