My employers have recently started sending our wage slips as a password protected PDF and they are emailed to my work email address. I am able to save and view the wage slip on my work laptop.
However, I would also like to send a copy to my personal email address so I can keep a copy at home, but I am unable to open the PDF on my MacBook. It tells me the password is incorrect, but I know it is not!
I have tried to open it on my MacBook, iPad, iPhone, My son's Android phone with no success. It seems it will only open on a Windows laptop.
Any ideas how I can open it on my Mac?!

What did you use on the Mac to try and open them?
If it was Adobe reader then try Preview.One by one the penguins are slowly stealing my sanity.0 -

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I have already tried several suggestions found on Google to no avail.What did you use on the Mac to try and open them?

I've used both Adobe and Preview and neither will work:beer: Been smoke free for 4 years!! :beer:0 -
Right, in that case I'm not sure what the problem is.
What I would do is open them at work and then copy and paste the contents into a Word document or even a new PDF file and email that home.
You could even simply copy and paste the contents into the body of the email and send it.One by one the penguins are slowly stealing my sanity.0 -

Are you sure you have the correct, latest Adobe PDF reader for Mac?
