PDFs come in all shapes and sizes. You can have your own PDF documents that you create to send to work colleagues and you can buy PDF files in the form of eBooks. Many eBooks come encrypted with a password so that only those people who have actually purchased them can have access to them. But if you lose that password then you have no way of accessing the eBook and you need to download or buy a PDF password finder program.
Before you lose all hope, first do a quick mental inventory. It is surprising what can suddenly spring to mind if we think carefully. Are you sure you don't remember the lost password? If you received the PDF file from a colleague, do they always use a certain password? Or a certain theme? One of my colleagues always uses her children's names! Not very secure I know, but really useful if you have forgotten the password from one of her files!
If all else fails, then you have no choice. A quick search of the internet will reveal a multitude of software which is available to help you to recover your lost password. Many of these programs come in a demo or trial version. Once you have downloaded one then it is usually a question of following some easy instructions to help you recover the password.
But demonstration versions can be annoying in that they don't always have full functionality. It may only recover the first part of the password or just one or two of the random letter. A PDF password finder I used once only let me see the first letter of a forgotten password with no hint of the length of the word! Not so helpful! Especially when you are stressed, your brain completely stops working!
If this is the case and the one letter fails to jog your memory, then try the next piece of software on your list or pay up to download the full version. And next time, write that password down somewhere!
