Frequently Asked Questions

Can I unlock a PDF without the password?

No. You must know the document password to unlock it. This tool does not bypass security.

Does this preserve bookmarks and form fields?

Yes. Removing password protection only clears the encryption flag; the document outline, form fields, and annotations are kept exactly as-is.

What PDF versions are supported?

Unlocking works on PDF 1.0 through 2.0 once you supply the correct password. AES-128 and AES-256 encryption are both supported.
