FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do you crack unknown passwords?
No. Unlock PDF only removes encryption when you supply the correct password. Attempting to guess passwords would be insecure — and illegal for files you don’t own.
Will the unlocked file lose any content?
No. Pages, text, images, and metadata are preserved. Only the encryption layer is stripped.
