Remove a password from a document you own, so you can merge it, print it, or stop typing the password every time.
Banks, public bodies and employers often send statements and contracts locked with a password made of your tax code or date of birth. Unlocking removes that barrier from your own copy so it can be merged, searched or archived with the rest — the legitimate use, and the only one this tool supports.
The tool needs the current password to decrypt the file; it does not guess or break encryption. If you do not know the password, no tool here will help, and any site claiming otherwise is either lying or doing something you should not trust with your documents.
Some PDFs open without a password but refuse printing or copying. Those "permission" restrictions are removed by the same operation — on your own document, for your own use.
No. You must supply the password the document is encrypted with.
To merge it with others, make it searchable, print it, or archive it without keeping the password forever.
No, the content is decrypted and re-saved without change.
