Frequently asked questions
Can this tool open a PDF if I forgot the password?
No. It removes a password you know; it never tries to guess or crack one. Without the password, ask the person who sent you the file.
Is my PDF or my password sent anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser, on your device. Neither the file nor the password is sent to us or to anyone else.
Why do I have to confirm I have permission?
A password often protects confidential content. Removing it is fine for your own files, or with the agreement of the person who protected them.
What about PDFs that open but can’t be printed or copied?
Those PDFs only carry usage limits. With your permission, the tool saves a copy without them, so you can print or copy freely.
Is the content changed?
No. Pages, text, images, links and form fields stay exactly the same; only the encryption is removed.
