Unlock PDF

Strip the password from a PDF you legitimately own. The decrypted file is the same content, minus the open / print / edit restrictions.

Password rides the job message once, decrypts the file, then is discarded — never logged, never stored.

How to

  1. 01

    Upload your PDF

    Drop in a password-protected PDF that you have the right to open.

  2. 02

    Enter the password

    Provide the current open password so we can remove it.

  3. 03

    Download the unlocked file

    Get a copy with the password and restrictions removed.

Why Pditor

Stop retyping passwords

Remove the open password from a file you control so it opens without a prompt every time.

Same content, no restrictions

The decrypted file is identical, minus the open, print, and edit limits.
