This tool removes password protection from a PDF, producing a copy that opens without a password. It's meant for PDFs where you already know the password (your own protected files, or ones you have permission to open) and just want to stop having to type it in every time - not for bypassing protection on a document you don't have rights to access.
Frequently asked questions
Yes - you must provide the correct existing password. This tool removes protection from files you can already open; it does not crack or guess unknown passwords.
You should only remove protection from documents you own or have explicit permission to access - respect the rights of whoever originally protected the file.
No - only the password/encryption is removed. All pages, text, and images stay exactly as they were.
No - it's used only to open and re-save the file during the process, then discarded.
