Frequently asked questions
Do I need the password?
For encrypted files you must supply the password. Owner-restricted files can often be unlocked with it left blank.
Is this legal?
Only use it on documents you own or have permission to modify. See our Terms of Service.
Is the document modified otherwise?
No, we only remove the security settings.
