Which way works for you?
Both 2 methods can be useful to open password protected PDF files. For me, I prefer to choose Method2. The online method is a little risky, because I don't want my PDF files to be public to everyone, and there are some information in PDF files, which I don't want other people to see. Furthermore, I have many PDF documents whose size is over 150 MB. The online site can't work for the big-size PDF documents. To get fast speed, I will choose PDF Password Remover to open password protected PDF documents. What about you?
