What to expect
You need the password

Same content
Pages and quality stay the same. Only the password protection is removed.
Why unlock a PDF
Other tools can't work on a locked file. Once it's unlocked, you can merge, compress or convert your copy. Keep the unlocked copy somewhere safe, as anyone who gets it can open it. Use Protect PDF to add a new password.
Common reasons for a wrong password
- Capital and small letters must match exactly.
- Banks often use part of your CNIC, date of birth or account number. Check the email that came with the statement for the format.
- A space copied before or after the password will make it fail.
- Your keyboard may be set to another language.
Files with printing or copying limits
Some PDFs open without a password, but they restrict printing or copying. This tool saves a copy without those limits. Only do this with files you own or have permission to change, as the limits may be there for a reason.
