Do you have the password for the document? If not you need to get the password from the person that locked the document with a password.

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by marking my post as an accepted solution. Clicking "yes" on "was this reply helpful" also increases the chances that this solution will help others.

Depending on the PDF security settings, you might need to adjust permissions within the software to enable printing.

 

SwifDoo PDF is a common PDF editor that allows you to manage security settings and print password protected PDFs.


If you know the password of the PDF, the tool's "Encryption" tool allows you to remove the password and print or edit with effortlessly.
