However, to remove the password, you must register the app by purchasing it or creating an account for the 7-day trial version by providing credit card details.

The app allows managing, editing, merging, compressing, signing, extracting, splitting, commenting, and doing much more with PDF documents. Nonetheless, it can remove passwords and allow users to comment, highlight, annotate, and so on in the PDF. The best part is that Systweak PDF Editor offers a functional 7-day trial version, after which you can purchase it for $29.95\/year. Compared to Acrobat Reader, which costs $155.88\/year, the price you pay for Systweak PDF Editor is nothing.
