How to Unlock PDF

  1. Upload the protected PDF.
  2. Enter the password the document already uses.
  3. Download the copy with the password removed.

This removes a password you know

It is not a password cracker, and it cannot open a document you do not have the password for. The intended use is the everyday one: a bank or utility statement that arrives encrypted with your date of birth, which you then have to retype every single time you open it.

Unlock first, then do anything else

Encrypted PDFs cannot be merged, split, compressed or converted while they are still locked. If another tool has refused your file, removing the password here first is usually what unblocks it.

No. The correct password has to be supplied - there is no way around the encryption, by design.
