Frequently asked questions

Can I open a PDF without the password?

No. If a PDF is protected with a password for opening, you need that password. Only pure restrictions on printing and copying can be lifted without a password.

Am I allowed to remove the protection?

For your own files, yes, e.g. if you want to file a bank statement PDF without a password. For other people’s files, only with the consent of the rights holders.
