How to Extract from a Password-Protected PDF on iPhone

TL;DR

PDFExtract imports password-protected PDFs: supply the document's password and you can extract its text and images just like any other file — all locally, so the protected document never leaves your phone.

Steps

Import the password-protected PDF into PDFExtract.
Enter the document’s password when prompted.
Run text or image extraction as normal.
Preview and export the results.

Why it works this way

Protected PDFs — statements, confidential reports — are exactly the documents you don’t want to hand to a cloud converter. PDFExtract opens them with the password you already hold and extracts locally, so a protected file’s contents come out without the file ever leaving your device. It respects the protection: you unlock with the real password, nothing is bypassed.

Tips & edge cases

You need the real password — PDFExtract doesn’t crack protection.
On-device keeps confidential documents off any server.
Extract text and images from a protected PDF just like an open one.
