PDFKey Pro’s interface couldn’t be simpler.
PDFKey Pro 3.11 was released on 21·Mar·10.
You can find a full list of changes here.
PDFKey Pro is used by simply dragging one or more files, or even an entire folder, onto the PDFKey Pro. You can even use it in shell scripts or with Automator (Mac OS X Only).
PDFKey Pro reads your PDF files with printing or copying passwords set and then creates exact replicas of the PDFs, but without the passwords.
For PDF files that have a viewing password set, PDFKey Pro will read your PDF file and create an exact replica of the PDF without any password, although you must supply this password beforehand.
Locking is as simple as unlocking. You will be prompted with a dialog to set your passwords and an exact, but protected, copy of the PDFs will be created.
The included command line and Automator actions (Mac OS X only) features allow you to insert PDFKey Pro in complex workflows. PDFKey Pro can process entire folders of PDF files without requiring user intervention.
PDFKey Pro is not compatible with DRM'ed eBooks from eStores. PDFKey Pro is designed to help you work with PDF files when you've lost your password, or when you need to process your PDFs all at once.
It is not designed to defeat DRM.
PDFKey Pro for Mac OS X requires Mac OS X 10.4.6 or higher. That's it. PDFKey Pro works with both Intel and PowerPC-based Macs.
- Recover Documents: Unlock PDF documents protected for printing and copying when you've forgotten your password.

Have you ever accidentally lost a password to your protected PDF documents? Did you spend the rest of your day re-creating the PDF as a result? Have you ever had to process password-protected PDFs in bulk?
PDFKey Pro lets you easily recover from lost copying and printing PDF passwords. PDFKey Pro makes an unlocked copy of your PDF, without requiring you to enter a copying or printing password. If your files are protected for viewing, you must supply the password and PDFKey Pro will make a fully unlocked document. PDFs can be processed in bulk, without requiring your intervention.
Do you need to protect your files from unauthorized access? Do you want to restrict the usage permissions on your PDF files?
PDFKey Pro lets you protect your PDFs in a blink. You can set a password to view the file and a password to restrict printing and copy&pasting of your PDFs. The files created by PDFKey Pro will be identical to the originals and you will be able to open them in any PDF viewer.
