Form 80 document is password protected when I edit and close it.

Form 80 document is password protected when I edit and close it. I cannot reopen it and make other changes. This happens with `Preview` App only.


What i did was open PDF via acrobat Reader. Don't use `Preview` at all. Then, I would save it as `Save as PDF` while trying to print it using `Cmd + P` in Acrobat app. That way i can ensure that it is never password protected.

Hi iheathers,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.


Thank you for posting your experience, and your solution to the Apple Community.


Seems PDF documents that others create for you may be password-protected by the people who created the document. Eg: so that when the completed document is sent back to them, they are the only ones who can see your information, thus protecting your privacy.


Apple Support has an article online that shows how to password-protect a document (or not) that you create: Password-protect a PDF in Preview on Mac – Apple Support


All the best :-)
