I Have many PDF files and they all are password protected and all files have the same password. Is there any way I can remove password from all the pdf file at once

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
WARNING: CANNOT UNDO CHANGES. TEST ON COPY OF YOUR FILES.

Make sure you enable the "Adobe Acrobat XX.0 Type Library" library.

VBA Code:
Sub RemovePDFPassword()
    Dim objApp As Object
    Dim strFolderPath As String
    Dim strPassword As String

    strFolderPath = "" '<~~ Your path
    strPassword = "" '<~~ Common password

    Set objApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")

    Dim objFolder As Object
    Dim objFile As Object

    Set objFolder = objApp.GetFolder(strFolderPath)
    For Each objFile In objFolder.GetFiles("*.pdf")
        objApp.OpenDocument strFolderPath & objFile.Name, strPassword
        objApp.ActiveDocument.Save
        objApp.ActiveDocument.Close
    Next objFile

    objApp.Exit
    Set objApp = Nothing
End Sub
