Frequently asked questions
Can this remove a password I don't know?
No — you need the existing password to unlock the file. This tool removes protection you already have access to; it does not bypass or crack unknown passwords.
Is the unlocked file identical to the original otherwise?
Yes, only the password requirement is removed — page content is unchanged.
