How to remove the extended reader access to multiple forms at once

I have about 1000 PDf files that are all reader access extended which automatically enables some security features the document.

I need the document security field all saying "allow"

In order to take off the security setting. I would have to go to File, then click "Save Copy" which would take me for ever. I need this done in a batch process. Is there a way to get this done?

I need them that way so I can add security features to them all using the Action Wizard but they open with security on them which will not allow the process to work.

There is not an automated way to do this with Acrobat. Adobe specifically limits what you can do with respect to adding and removing usage rights. This is one reason to always retain copies of forms before you Reader-enable them.
