How to Remove a Password from a PDF
Unlocking creates a new copy of your PDF without the password requirement. The original file is unchanged. You must know the correct password to proceed.
๐ก Check your password manager, the original email, or contact whoever sent you the document if you cannot remember the password.
When to unlock a PDF
- The sender gave you a temporary password for access and now you want to remove it
- You protected a PDF yourself and want to make it freely shareable
- A recurring form or template always requires a password to open
