I have created several pdf files using Acrobat X and password protected them. I thought that I knew the password, however, I cant seem to get into them to update some fields! Ugg! Does anyone know to reset a password in a pdf file that was created by yourself?

If you don't know the password, you cannot remove it with Acrobat, but it is possible with third-party tools. I use this: http://www.elcomsoft.com/apdfpr.php
