Unlock PDF — frequently asked questions
Do I need to know the password to unlock a PDF?
Yes. This tool removes a password from a PDF you can already open, so you must enter the correct password. It cannot crack or guess an unknown password.
My PDF opens but won't let me print or copy — can this help?
Yes. If the PDF only has usage restrictions and no open password, leave the password box empty and it will remove those restrictions.
Is it legal to unlock a PDF?
Only unlock PDFs you own or have permission to modify, such as your own bank statements or tickets. Don't remove protection from documents you aren't authorised to.
Is my password stored?
No. The password is used only to unlock the file during processing and is never saved.
