FAQ
Can this tool recover a forgotten password?
No. It only removes encryption when you type the correct password yourself. It does not and cannot break, crack or recover unknown passwords.
Does the original file change?
No. Your original PDF stays untouched on your device; the tool writes a separate decrypted copy.
Will the unlocked copy keep all pages and quality?
Yes. Pages, text, images and metadata are rebuilt exactly; only the encryption layer is left out.
