Removing protection against document editing

The program has the ability to remove protection from editing any number of files.

Next, select the directory where we want to place our documents. Go to the Result folder and using the Browse... button choose the folder for the result of removing protection from editing our documents. Ideally, this should be a specially prepared folder, due to the fact that it will contain files after the removal of protection. If the folder contains other directories or files it will be difficult to find out which files are the result of the program.

The next item is a checkbox for Overwrite existing files. Checking it will cause that if there is already a file in the directory with the same name as the file for which we are removing the editing protection, it will be overwritten by our file. Otherwise our work will not be saved despite a successful removal.

Now it's time to click on the Delete protection button at the bottom of the window. Clicking this will start deleting protection before editing files, and all other buttons will be disabled.

While taking away attributes from the files so that they will be files in which it will be possible to make changes, we will be constantly informed as to how the operation is going and what phase it is currently in. If we have second thoughts, we can always click the Cancel operation button. This will stop the removal of permissions prohibiting editing of files. All files that have not yet been edited, along with the removal of editing restrictions, will be placed in the result folder.
