About this app

PDF files are often protected via password that it is only possible to open and print it. Changes are not allowed by the author. This is just annoying on tablets to simply highlight something or to comment on the go.
This App "PDF Utilities" comes to rescue. With this you can easily unlock the PDF without much effort, so that changes can be made.

Another handy feature is remove pages from a PDF for simpler printing. You must not specify, which pages should be printed to exclude some pages (which is often very tedious).

A new feature is adding of blank pages in an existing PDF file. This is convenient for additional notes, if the space on a page is not enough.

Another Feature is automated removing of blank PDF pages.

And all this without sending the PDF file to a webservice, it remains on the device.

The app supports Dropbox, now. PDF-Files can be selected and processed directly out of the Cloud.

Features:
• Remove the write protection of a PDF file (without knowing the password) --> PDF Unlock
• Removing encryption from a PDF file (the password must be known, because the file is encrypted)
• Remove selected pages of a PDF file
• Add blank pages to a PDF file
• Automated removing of blank PDF pages

IMPORTANT: Because of limitations of writing on external storage, which was introduced in Android 4.4 (affects mainly the Samsung Galaxy devices), it is currently not possible to process PDF files from external SD cards. When a workaround exists, this is implemented in one of the next versions. Please copy the PDF files to the internal memory before processing.

Excellent. Allows me to print a non-encrypted version of an encrypted file which stubbornly refuses to allow the password to be removed. So this app allows me to make a copy of the file which obviously does not require the password. (You will still need the password to open the original file). Thanks for the app. Great help.

It corrupted the file and did not do what it was supposed to. There's not even a prompt of initiation and completion. It just blinks and that's it. For rating the app, it's better to give users "space". If the functionality works - users will provide good rating for sure. But everytime you try to perform work within the app it shows up, it's annoying.

Needs some basic work, as it cannot locate many PDF files on my SD card, only found about 50 out of 750 pdf files. Could not use as file was not found. Update: On my Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra it refers to the internal phone storage as an SD card, and not the real SD card.
