About This Tool

Some PDFs come with locks that stop you printing, copying text, or editing. This free tool removes those owner restrictions so you can use the file freely. It works fully in your browser using pdf-lib, so your document stays private. Note that it does not crack a view password — if a PDF asks for a password just to open, you need that password first.
