Using Unlock PDF
Remove PDF encryption using the document’s existing password. Download a copy that opens without a password prompt.
Worked example
When an encrypted report needs a page removed, first enter its current password here and download the unlocked copy. Use that copy for editing and protect the edited file again if it needs to stay encrypted.
Can the tool recover an unknown PDF password?
No. It checks a password you already have. An unencrypted document does not need this step. The resulting file has no opening password, so choose its storage and recipients accordingly.
