Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What restrictions can be removed?
This tool removes all types of PDF restrictions including copy protection, print restrictions, editing locks, form-filling blocks, and content extraction limits.
Q:Do I need to know the password?
Only if the PDF requires a password to open. If it just has restrictions (copy/print), leave the password field empty.
Q:Is it legal to unlock PDFs?
Yes, when you own the PDF or have permission from the owner. Only use this tool on documents you have legitimate rights to modify.
Q:Will the unlocked PDF look different?
No! The content, formatting, and quality remain exactly the same. Only the restrictions are removed.
Q:What if I don't know the password?
If a PDF is password-protected for opening and you don't know the password, this tool cannot unlock it.
