Cannot print password protected pdf

Jgl51

Lurker
I have a password protected pdf file. Using a Samsung S9+ with Adobe acrobat app I can open the file (with the password). However I cannot print it. Get message that document is protected but does not allow me to enter the password.



With an iPhone I can print this same document (after entering the password) without problem!!
 
Never encountered that issue. What are you connected to for printing?

HP wireless printer.

According to Adobe their app does not allow for printing password protected of. Makes no sense but awaiting their conformation.

As mentioned all ok with iPhone same document; same printer
 
Waiting for someone to tell me which one works!! -:)
Tried 3 including Word....

Confused as to why you'd use Word for a PDF file.

Anyway, I normally use OfficeSuite, but that's like $10. Paid for that years ago, and it's been useful.
I suggest you try Xodo, Foxit, or ezPDF, since they're free.
 
Did you download HP wireless printer apps from the Play Store because without those apps it doesn't work right, I use mine religiously. HP print service plugin and HP ePrint
