    I warmly welcome.
    I have an edit-protected pdf file (signed document). It contains my private sensitive data, so I don't want to upload such a file to some server, that's why I need the program to remove security and be able to edit the document.
    Adobe Acrobat Pro spits out information that the document is signature protected. Elcomsoft Advanced PDF Password Recovery 5 Professional Edition also cannot cope with this problem.
    Best regards and I hope that you will be able to help me.

    Sorry, but I couldn't deal with this problem. I would like to make changes to the text and this is where the problem lies. When clicking the "Edit" button (eg in Adobe Acrobat Pro), information appears that editing is not possible due to the security contained in the form of a digital signature, which prevents such editing.

    I look forward to the next suggestions and best regards

    @ dt1 It's just that the forum does not tolerate all entries, as well as certain files. So if I didn't speak, I'm beaten anyway.

    They are not tolerated if they are illegal, break the law or violate certain ethical standards. If such a colleague wanted to propose such solutions, it is better not to propose them at all.

    As for the problem itself, you can try it this way, but I haven't checked if it works: https://www.isunshare.com/blog/remove-delete-digital-signature-pdf-document/

    But you make an effort, please convert the file from pdf to pdf but I don't know if it will be editable. I do this when removing white pages

    @kaffiks If this file contains your private data, please contact the person who placed it there and secured it with his signature.

    I have not heard of one who would do it without the user's knowledge. Can you give an example?

    But it is not that without the user's knowledge, only by buying certain things you get either the company data for free in the document or other things identifying the buyer.

    @Conscious awareness stream so the file can be simply deleted after receipt and not played, because it scams. And the original remains with the seller, following your thinking.

    @kaffiks how are you going to edit this pdf if it can be a scan, for example?

    People in offices sometimes cannot scan documents properly and need to be corrected after them, for example, they scan documents in A3 when the documents are printed in A4. Then you have to remove half of the paper to read it after printing.

    So simply save the page as an image (e.g. using Microsoft Image Writer) and crop it and then make a valid pdf back.
    Another way is to select "Print view" instead of "Print page".
    Free Irfan View also opens pdf files as images that can be saved in dozens of graphic formats.
    Show properties of this file in Acrobat. Do you have something similar?
