Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is it safe to enter my PDF password here?
Yes. The password is used only inside your browser's local JavaScript environment. It is never transmitted to our servers or any third party.
What types of PDF protection can be removed?
This tool removes open-document passwords (passwords required to view the PDF). Owner restrictions (print, copy, edit locks) can also be removed if you have the owner password.
What if I don't know the password?
This tool requires the correct password to unlock the file — it is not a brute-force cracker. You must know the password to use it.
Your PDF and password are processed only in your browser's sandboxed memory. Nothing is transmitted.
