How nice to see a program that works well with a very easy to understand interface.
Well worth the money.

Used it on a PDF with edit restriction (128 encrypted). Worked well. Just tried once.

Good interface, very simple GUI. Can be used in command line mode too - if you want to use in a script. 5 stars.

Interface is obviously better than "Guaranteed PDF Decrypter v3.0", which is a command line utility only.

I think the price is a bit steep for a utility that I will not use very often, so only 4 stars overall.

I'm not sure what else this program does. You can actually open password protected pdf's with ColorSync (found in your Utilities folder) and then save it again. It will strip out the password protection. This will also allow you to open, edit and print file in any program that supports pdf's.
