Unlock PDF
Remove protection from a PDF whose password you know, or remove the printing and copying restrictions. Files are not uploaded to a server.
What the tool can do
- Shows how a file is protected: RC4-40, RC4-128, AES-128 or AES-256, and exactly what is forbidden.
- Files that forbid only printing or copying are unlocked without a password: they have no open password set.
- For files with an open password you need to enter that password. There is no password guessing, and there cannot be.
- You can upload many files at once and download all the unlocked ones as one ZIP.
- Old and new protection schemes are supported, including files with a compressed structure.
Use only for files you have the right to handle. The tool does not crack passwords.
The result is saved without encryption. Signature marks in signed documents stop being valid after processing.
