  2. Enter the current password if it is needed.
  3. Remove the protection.
  4. Download the open PDF.

When to remove a password

A locked file is safe, but the password can get in the way once you no longer need it. If you trust where the file is stored, removing the lock saves you from typing the password each time you open it.
