Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the original password to unlock?
Yes — you must know the PDF's password. This tool decrypts PDFs for which you have the password; it is not a password cracker.
What does "unlock" do exactly?
It decrypts the PDF and saves a new version without password protection, so it can be opened without entering a password.
What if the PDF has permission restrictions only (no open password)?
Upload the PDF without entering a password. If it has only permission restrictions (owner password), Docukit will remove those restrictions.
Is this safe and private?
Yes — everything happens in your browser. Your PDF and password are never sent to any server.
