Frequently asked questions
Can this crack a PDF password I don't know?
No. You must know the current password — this tool removes protection you're authorized to remove; it does not bypass or crack encryption.
Why remove a password at all?
Recurring documents like statements are painful to reopen every time. Once stored somewhere safe, many people prefer them unlocked.
Is the unlocked file identical?
Yes — same pages, same quality, just without the encryption layer.
