When it helps

A password-protected PDF is a hassle when you open it often or share it with people you trust. Removing the password, when you know it, makes the file open normally.

Common questions

Can this open a PDF I don’t have the password for?

No. You need the current password. This removes a password you already know, it doesn’t crack or bypass protection.

What do I get back?

The same PDF, without the password, so it opens without asking for one.

Is my password kept private?

Yes. It’s used only to open your file, and it is never saved, shared, or logged.
