So, for a very legitimate reason I had a locked PDF that I wanted to unlock. I didn't want to stick it to the man or free the world, I just wanted to copy and paste from this file. So a quick google search found a small myriad of the same program for sale across different websites. PDFUnlocker I think it was. Anyhow, here is the free way I found to do this.
Here I found an online utility that will do it for free if A) your file is less than 5Mb (which you can split it into multiple files if needed) and B) you don't mind sending someone else your PDF file. Hope this helps!
