Frequently asked questions about Unlocking PDFs
How do I remove a password from my PDF?
Upload your password-protected PDF document. Then, in the provided field, enter the correct current password for the file. Click the "Unlock PDF" button, and your unlocked document will be downloaded instantly.
Is it safe to unlock my PDF with PDFClear?
Yes, absolutely. PDFClear prioritizes your privacy. All PDF unlocking operations are performed entirely within your web browser. Your file is never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete confidentiality and security.
What if I forget the password?
If you have forgotten the password for your PDF, this tool cannot help you recover or remove it. For security reasons, a legitimate PDF unlocker requires the correct password to decrypt the document. There is no "backdoor" to bypass strong encryption.
Can this tool remove all types of PDF passwords?
This tool is designed to remove "user passwords" (passwords required to open the document) and "owner passwords" (passwords restricting editing, printing, etc.). As long as you provide the correct password, it will remove these standard protections. It may not be compatible with highly complex or non-standard encryption methods.
