Background

This tool removes password protection from a PDF. You must know the current password to authorize its removal and create a new, unprotected file.

PDFs can have two password types. An 'open' password is required to view the file. A 'permissions' password restricts printing, copying, or editing.
This tool removes protection if you know the open password. It does not break encryption and cannot recover a password you do not know.
