A bank statement, a payslip or an insurance document often arrives encrypted with a password you were given. Keeping that password on a file you archive means finding it again every time you open the document. Removing it once produces a copy that opens straight away.
The same applies to a file you protected yourself and now want to publish, or a document you need to run through another tool that cannot open encrypted input.
Password recovery is deliberately absent. A tool that could open a document without its password would make every protected PDF worthless, including the ones you produce here.
No. You have to supply the password that opens the document. There is no guessing or cracking, by design: a tool that could do that would make password protection meaningless.
Nothing is produced and the tool says the password did not open the PDF. You can try again with a different one.
No. It is used for the one operation and never written to a log, a database or an error message.
This tool is for documents you are entitled to open, which is why it requires the password. Whether you may remove protection from a particular file depends on your rights over that document.
Yes. The Protect PDF tool adds an AES-256 password to any unprotected PDF, including one this tool has just unlocked.
