FAQ
What restrictions can be removed?
Owner-password restrictions: printing blocked, copying text blocked, editing blocked. The unlocked file opens and behaves like a normal PDF.
My PDF requires a password to open. Can you remove that?
Only if you supply the password — the file is decrypted with it. Open passwords cannot be bypassed; anything claiming otherwise is false.
Are my files and passwords sent anywhere?
Never. Decryption runs locally via WebAssembly; your password stays on your device.
Why do you need the password if the file opens fine?
Some files carry both an open password and restrictions; entering it lets the tool decrypt the file completely.
