AWinware PDF Security Remover is a speedy and easy-to-use program that gives you the possibility to strip security features off PDF documents, including passwords and forbidden actions (e.g. print, copy, modify).

It doesn't include complicated options or configuration parameters. Before proceeding any further, however, you should know that this is not a password cracker, so you still need to have the PDF keys at hand to decrypt them.

Installing this tool is a simple job that takes just a few seconds to finish. As soon as it's over, you are welcomed by a user-friendly interface which consists of a regular window with a neatly organized structure.

PDF documents can be imported from individual files or entire directories. Batch processing is supported, which means that you can work with multiple PDFs at the same to reduce the workload overall. For each PDF you have to enter the correct password to continue.

The task list shows the name, key, number of pages, size, full path and status of each file. At this point, all you have to is indicate the output directory (same as the source or custom) and click a button to start the quick password removal process.

As far as program settings are concerned, the app lets you personalize the output file naming pattern as well, by adding a prefix, suffix, or both. Apart from the fact that you can remove an item from the list, clear the entire queue to start the session from scratch, and open the destination folder without leaving AWinware PDF Security Remover's interface, there are no other notable options available here.

As previously mentioned, password removal jobs were carried out rapidly in our tests, during which the tool remained light on system resources consumption. It's speedy and highly intuitive, so AWinware PDF Security Remover can be handled even by inexperienced users. However, the price of the full package seems too much.
