Xargaar ToolsPDF ToolkitHow to remove a password from a PDF you own
Two kinds of PDF passwords
An open password stops anyone reading the file at all. An owner password lets the file open but blocks printing, copying or editing. Unlock removes both, as long as you have the open password when the file asks for one.
What it cannot do
It does not guess or crack passwords. If you have forgotten the open password, the file cannot be recovered. Only unlock files that are yours or that you have permission to open.
Steps
Open the Unlock tab in the PDF Toolkit, add the file, type the password if the file asks for one, and press Remove protection. You get a copy with no password and no restrictions.
Why do it locally
Bank statements, contracts and IDs are exactly the files that carry passwords. The work happens in your browser with the qpdf engine, so the file and the password never leave your device.
