About this tool
This tool doesn't guess or crack passwords: you need to know the password to open the PDF. If the document only has printing or copying restrictions, they can be removed directly.
Only use it with documents you own or have permission to unlock.
Everything happens in your browser; neither the PDF nor the password leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
I forgot the password, can you help?
No. Without the password a properly encrypted PDF can't be opened.
Does the content change?
No. The resulting PDF is identical, just without encryption.
