  2. Enter its password.
  3. Download the unlocked copy.

About this tool

This removes a password from a document you can already open — it is for the file you own and are tired of typing into. It is not a way into a document you do not have the password for, and it cannot be. Like protecting, decrypting cannot be done in a browser, so this tool sends your file to our server and deletes it immediately afterwards.

Questions

Can it open a PDF I do not have the password for?

No. You supply the password; this only saves you typing it again in future.

Does it remove printing and copying restrictions?

Yes — the copy you download has no restrictions on it.

Is my password stored?

No. It is used for the one command and never written down.
