You need the password
This tool removes protection from PDFs you are allowed to open: it needs the correct password. It does not crack or guess passwords. PDFs that only restrict printing or copying (with no open password) can be unlocked without entering anything.
Frequently asked questions
Can it unlock a PDF if I don't know the password?
No. You must enter the correct password. This protects documents from being opened by people who should not see them.
Is it legal to remove a PDF password?
Yes, for documents you own or are authorised to use, such as your own bank statements.
Does unlocking change the content?
No. Pages, text, images and links stay exactly the same; only the encryption is removed.
