I never thought that I could access restricted PDF documents &print secured PDF files when option is not highlighted. As a student I often need to print out important information. But locked PDFs were restricting me to print them out. I am lucky that I came across your PDF Unlocker software. It is so perfect to retrieve PDFs.
