Frequently asked questions
Can you unlock a PDF if I forgot the password?
No. You must already know the password if the file will not open. We do not guess, crack, or recover forgotten passwords.
What if the PDF opens but I cannot print or copy?
Leave the password field blank and run Unlock. That tries to remove usage restrictions on a file you can already view.
