    Dear user,

    Can you please name the third party app to remove the password so we can investigate further.

    That can't be fixed, unfortunately. The password protection mechanism is described in the PDF ISO and Adobe follows it. Other software developers do not follow it, sadly. So do not rely on this encryption to protect the contents of your file.
