Why PDF permissions remove?
PDF permissions are separate from password protection. A PDF might open fine but prevent you from printing it, copying text, or making edits. This is common in academic papers, corporate documents, and government forms. If you have legitimate access to the document and need full functionality, removing these restrictions lets you work with the document freely.
