Frequently Asked Questions

Will the downloaded PDF ever ask for a password again?
No. The security metadata is completely stripped from the new PDF, so it will open instantly for anyone without prompting for credentials.
Can I unlock a PDF if I don't know the password?
For files protected with standard user encryption, you must provide the authorized password once to decrypt the document stream and remove protection.
