How to use “Unlock PDF”

- Type its open password (leave it empty if the PDF opens without one but won’t let you print or copy).
- Click “Unlock PDF”.
- Download a copy with no password or restrictions.
You need to know the password
This tool doesn’t guess or crack passwords: it decrypts the document with the password you type and saves a copy without encryption or printing, copying or editing restrictions. If the PDF opens without asking for a password but has restrictions, leave the password empty. Only use it with documents you have the right to open.
Are my files uploaded?
No. ShiftAny Files processes your files directly on your device: this tool runs in your browser and never sends your files to any server.
