Frequently Asked Questions

Can this tool remove passwords from encrypted PDF files?
Yes. If you know the password or if the PDF has restriction constraints (such as print or copy restrictions), the tool decrypts the document and generates an unlocked, unrestricted PDF that you can save and open without passwords in any PDF viewer.
Does this tool upload my password-protected documents to a server?
No. Decryption is performed entirely client-side inside your browser memory using PDF-Lib and Web Crypto routines. Your password, confidential documents, and decrypted files are never sent over the internet.
Which encryption algorithms are supported?
The PDF password remover supports modern standard PDF encryption schemes including 128-bit AES, 256-bit AES (Acrobat 9 / X), and legacy standard RC4 ciphers.
What restrictions does this tool remove from PDFs?
It strips both document open passwords (when provided) and permissions passwords that restrict printing, content copying, form field editing, screen reader accessibility, and page extraction.
