Can this crack a password I forgot?+
No. It needs the real password. It removes protection you can already open, it does not guess or break passwords.
Which kinds of PDF protection work?+
Old 40-bit and 128-bit PDFs and the newer AES-128 and AES-256 protection are all supported.
What if it only blocks printing or copying?+
Leave the password empty. Those files usually open without one, and the limits are removed.
Is the unlocked file the same quality?+
Yes. Pages, text, images and fonts are kept as they are. Only the protection is removed.
Is my data safe?+
Yes. Everything runs inside your own browser. Your text, files and images are never uploaded to any server.
