I Need Help Copying From A Protected Pdf by pxjosh(m): 11:03pm On Sep 18, 2016
I'm in need of help from experts in this forum.

I needed to copy texts from a pdf I downloaded online, but the issue is that the pdf is protected such that I can't even copy or make any changes. It doesn't ask for a password to open, but I can't make changes, just view.

I've tried all I could to make the file copyable. I've carried out most of the steps given on wikihow on how to unlock a secured PDF, and I haven't had success with it.

Please if anyone can help me on how to make such a PDF file text copyable help me or better still help me convert the whole PDF to a word document format so I can copy.

While viewing the document, go to "save as".... In the naming extension, you'll see something like "the document name".PDF.... Change the naming extension I.e the .pdf to .doc... Save it.
Try it and tell me your result.

Well, I've done the conversion with a software I got online.
