Unlock PDF
Remove the password from a PDF you are authorised to open, so it can be read and shared without one.
Why remove a password from a PDF?
A password you set yourself should not lock you out of your own document. Removing it makes the file shareable with people who would otherwise need a separate password to open it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this open a PDF I do not have the password for?
No. You have to supply the password the file is already protected with. This removes a password you know, it does not defeat one you do not.
Will the document change?
No. Only the encryption is stripped. The content, layout and formatting are exactly as they were.
Why do this rather than just make a new copy?
If you protected a template once and now need a shareable version, removing the password is quicker than working out why the same file is protected again.
