Preview automatically locking PDFs with password For the past couple of months Preview has been password-protecting my pdfs and it's driving me nuts. When I first open the pdf with Preview I can view it with no issues but when I save it to my computer it locks the file so that the next time I open it I get a "This document is password protected" message. Ugh. I've tested different PDFs and it only appears to happen with docs coming from an electronic signature program that I use for work (Docusign). I've used Docusign and Preview together for 10 years with no problem. I've asked other folks who use Docusign and they don't have this problem. Preview seems to open other PDFs without issue so it's obviously due to the fact that these Docusign documents have password security. Trouble is I have no idea what password Preview is creating for these docs. I've tried the passwords associated with Docusign, with my computer, even my Apple ID. Also tried the old standard "password" to no avail. My current work around is opening them in Adobe Acrobat Reader and saving them which seems to remove the obstacle as Preview can then open the file. I really don't like using Adobe and hate the idea of Preview no longer being my PDF application but this is driving me nuts. Any suggestions on how I can fix this and make Preview usable again?

MAC Preview has automatically added password to 3 x pdf's I've been using MAC Preview to update/edit several pdf's.. and of course whilst working on them automatically save them using Command S. Now for some reason, all the documents have passwords on them to open the documents, and I have absolutely not password protected them at all (yes am adamant). Any ideas? I need to open the documents and have no idea why there is now a password protection on them that I have not created. Thanks.

Preview is password protecting all my PDF documents I am filling out a form and each time I save it to send it off, it adds a password. I don't know what the password is, I did not set up a password protection on Preview. The computer is new and I had been sent a password protected document. I have tried that password and every password I use and still I cannot get the doc to open. I have filled it out 2 x and it is 19 pages long. Is there currently an error on Safari 16.1 and/or OS Ventura 13.01 or Preview. How can I remove the password in preview? Is there a code or something. Thank you for the help. I have never had this happen before.
