Unlock PDF: what to know

Remove the opening password from a PDF when you know it and have permission to change the document. This creates an unlocked copy that is easier to open repeatedly.

The tool does not guess, crack or recover an unknown password. Anyone with the downloaded unlocked file can open it, so treat that copy according to the sensitivity of its contents.

Tips for the best result

  • Retain the protected original when you still need a restricted version.
  • Use Protect PDF if you want to set a new password afterwards.
