- Freeing up a document for merging or splitting once its protection has served its purpose
FAQ
Do I need to know the password?
Yes — this removes protection from a file you can already open. It doesn't crack or bypass encryption you don't have access to.
What if the PDF only restricts printing or copying, not opening?
Same process — enter the password if one's required to open it, and those restrictions get removed along with it.
Is the unlocked file still fingerprinted if the original was Guarded?
Turn on Guarded again here if you want a fresh fingerprint on the unlocked copy.
