The converted file from PDF to Word becomes password protected

[Jaures20021]

When I want to convert a file from PDF to Word, it becomes password-protected and impossible to edit.
I don't know where this password comes from or how to disable it.
You can see this in the attached screenshot.
Please help me.

Hello Jaures20021,

Daniel's reply in the following topic should be helpful.

• Restrict editing with a password checkbox greyed out
  viewtopic.php?t=45926

Export to Ms Office formats is a premium feature requiring a license key for the Editor at minimum to access. When you do not hold a license, this is forcibly enabled, allowing you to "see" the results of the conversion, but not work with them. It is essentially the only way we can enforce that this conversion is a premium feature.

In order to gain access to this checkbox, you will need a license key in place in the software, which is valid for the current version.

Best regards,
