Hello. You can also use PDF Password Remover. It works great and unlocks the documents. Certainly, in both cases of protected and standard PDF, if they derive by a scanned image you will need to convert with an OCR like Fine Reader (of course the best!). If you deal instead with PDF generated digitally, this problem does not occour so you may think to read with Adobe Reader and have no trouble.
