Can you convert PDC to PDF?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert PDC to PDF?
No - not a direct conversion.

A .pdc is a DRM-protected document; converting it to an unprotected PDF would strip the protection the publisher applied, which is the entire purpose of the format. No legitimate converter does this. If you need a normal PDF, ask the publisher who issued the file. 'PDC to PDF' tools online are scams or DRM-circumvention.
