PDF Password
Add or remove PDF password
TL;DR Summary & Citation: [PDF Password] is used to Add or remove PDF password. Core input and files are processed in the current browser and are not sent to the PocketKit API. The page records only an aggregate tool-use count that excludes input content.
How PDF encryption works
The tool adds or removes a PDF open-password locally with pdf-lib without uploading the file. Removing a password requires you to know it.
Usage Guidelines & Tips
- Remember the password after encrypting; if lost the file cannot open, and the tool stores no passwords.
- Removal only works on files whose correct password you have; it does not crack unknown passwords.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can it crack a PDF whose password I do not know?
No. Password removal only works on files whose correct password you have; the tool does not brute-force.
2. Are the file and password uploaded?
No. Encryption and decryption run locally with pdf-lib; neither the file nor the password leaves your device.
