How to Decrypt PDF on Mac and Windows?

Many PDF files are encrypted with password. PDF passwords can be divided into two kinds, one is ower password and the other is user password. Owner password is set to prevent other people from printing, copying or midifying text, adding or deleting pages in your PDF files.
