About this tool

Creates an unencrypted copy with a filename ending in -unlocked.pdf. Both existing user and owner passwords are accepted. The original file on your device is unchanged. Modifying a digitally signed PDF invalidates its signature.

Do I need to know the PDF password?

Yes. Enter the existing user or owner password to decrypt the document. This tool does not recover or guess forgotten passwords. The downloaded copy no longer requires that password to open.
