Can I remove PDF restrictions without installing any extra PDF reader?

My system does not have any separate PDF program installed, but I need to remove restrictions from my own PDF files. The documents open with limited access, and I want to copy, print, or edit them without depending on another application.

    Yes, you do not need to install any extra PDF reader if the file already opens and only print, copy or edit options are blocked. That is mostly a PDF permission restriction. Make sure the document is yours or you have approval before removing those limits.
    Mailvare Free PDF Unlocker is worth checking here because it focuses on copy, print, and edit restrictions. It also shows a preview of locked PDFs, so you can check the selected file before starting the process. The steps are simple enough for normal users.
    Keep one backup copy of the original PDF in another folder. Before using it on important documents, run the demo on one sample file and check the output first.
