Privacy

Limitations

This is not structure-preserving decryption. Text layers, links, bookmarks, forms, annotations, attachments, accessibility information, and digital signatures are removed.

FAQ

Can it crack an unknown password?

No. It only accepts a correct password the user knows and is authorized to use.

Why is text no longer selectable?

For reliable browser-only password removal, each page is rendered as an image and rebuilt into a new PDF.
