Frequently Asked Questions
No. This tool requires you to enter the correct password. It decrypts and re-saves the PDF without encryption — it doesn't attempt any brute-force or cracking. Only use it on PDFs you're authorized to unlock.
Some PDFs use an owner password for restrictions (no printing, no copying) but no user password — so they open freely. pdf-lib may be able to remove those restrictions. Try uploading and leaving the password field blank.
