  • Step 4: Now simply click on the print icon at the top right corner of the browser window or press (CTRL + P) and select the destination file format as PDF then click on save and name the file and tap on save to create a  copy of the password-protected PDF file without a password.
    Select the destination type as PDF to create a copy.
