Common Questions Answered

Quick help
Q1 Can I unlock a PDF if I do not know the password?
No. To respect legal boundaries and safety, you must supply the valid password at least once to unlock it and build the decrypted version of the document.
Q2 Will unlocking change the formatting or text?
No. Decryption only updates the encryption dictionaries and dictionary access flags, leaving content objects and styling fully intact.
Q3 What restrictions are cleared by this tool?
It clears user open restrictions, owner printing limits, content copying limits, and form editing/signing limitations.
Q4 Does it support AES 256-bit unlocked files?
Yes, the decryption engine supports modern standard security algorithms including AES-128 and AES-256 standard containers.
Q5 Are my passwords or PDFs uploaded to your server?
Never. Your password strings and document objects stay completely within your local browser memory sandbox. We do not store or process files over the internet.
