Once you&#8217;ve bought the document, you&#8217;re given a download link and a password. Adobe Acrobat Reader requires you to enter the password every time you want to view the document, and this can be annoying if it&#8217;s something that you refer to frequently. The last thing you need in this security-obsessed age is yet another password to remember. The easiest way to fix this is to get PTFB Pro to enter the password for you automatically.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a <strong>step-by-step<\/strong> breakdown of how to get PTFB Pro to <strong>enter the password for the protected PDF automatically<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>1) Open the password protected PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Typically this just means double-clicking the document!<\/p>\n<p>2) You&#8217;ll now see Adobe Reader prompting for the password.
