....................
my reading of the code in pdfmanipulation2.vb is that it should create a new PDf with the contents of the old, but it should have no encryption and have no restrictions - have I got this wrong ?, can anyone advise a better way of doing this ?
thanks
Yes, you got the wrong idea... Removing restrictions means just that. It won't remove the passwords.
