I received a secured pdf file, but I need to edit it and mail it. Is it possible to remove the password of a pdf file on Mac? You know I can't ask for the right password. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yep, this works for me, no special tools required, so long as you already know the password and you just want to remove the protection from the PDF file. With OS X 10.10.1, I used Preview's File->Export as PDF... menu command to save the unprotected version.
The best free tool available is http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/35106/pdf-unlock and I think this is what every one is looking forward.
Preview method does not work always and it is difficult for many to upload to Google Drive and then download again.

You can rename your file and save it in a different folder. You can then edit it. That works for me.
None of the suggested solutions worked for me – but this did: http://smallpdf.com/unlock-pdf
