  • Use pdftops (package xpdf) to remove password from a protected PDF:
pdftops -upw <password> <encrypted>.pdf <decrypted>.ps              # To generate a PostScript file (e.g. for further editing)
pdftops -upw <password> <encrypted>.pdf -|ps2pdf - <decrypted>.pdf  # To generate a new PDF
  • An other solution is to use PDF Toolkit pdftk:
!!! Update: pdftk seems to have a bug that prevent it to remove password from recent PDFs.
pdftk <encrypted>.pdf input_pw <password> output <decrypted>.pdf
