Reading through it quickly, it looks like this is for files that are available to read, but write-protected? Not read-protected documents like a password protected Excel workbook?
- kevin_b_er 4y agoA modern read-protected Office document is AES encrypted, so you cannot read those at all. But the read-only one, much like PDF do-not-print/do-not-copy protections, is just relying on the viewer to honor the protection marker.
- lazyeye 4y agoYes I think you can just save the readonly doc to a new writeable doc anyway.
- subroutine 4y agoIf that is true, what is the point of this password remover?
- pjbeam 4y agoSometimes document provenance matters and you don't want a copy.
- dev_tty01 4y agoHmm. I don't really get that. If document provenance matters, don't you want to keep it read only?
