If you've downloaded your HDFC Bank account statement and it's asking for a password every time you open it, you can create a new copy of the PDF without password protection. This is useful when you need to upload the statement for a loan, income tax filing, visa application, or simply want to avoid entering the password each time.
Follow the steps below.
Step 1: Open the HDFC Bank Statement PDF
Locate the downloaded HDFC Bank statement PDF on your computer and open it.
When prompted for the password, enter your HDFC Customer ID. After entering the correct password, the PDF will open normally.
Note: Most HDFC Bank e-Statement PDFs use your Customer ID as the password. If it doesn't work, verify the password instructions included in the email or download page.
Step 2: Print the Opened PDF
Once the statement is open:
Press Ctrl + P on your keyboard.
The Print window will appear.
Step 3: Select "Save as PDF"
In the Printer section, choose one of the following options:
Save as PDF
Microsoft Print to PDF
Either option will create a new PDF file.
Step 4: Print All Pages
Make sure All Pages is selected.
Keep the page size and orientation as the default unless you need to change them.
Click Print.
Step 5: Save the New PDF
Choose a location where you want to save the file.
Give the new PDF a different name, for example:
HDFC Statement Password Removed.pdf
HDFC Bank Statement Unlocked.pdf
HDFC Statement Copy.pdf
Click Save.
Done!
The newly created PDF is a separate file and will no longer ask for the password when you open it. Your original HDFC Bank statement remains unchanged and password-protected, while the new copy can be opened without entering the password again.
