Complete Guide: Unlock PDF
Unlocking a password-protected PDF removes access restrictions so you can freely open, edit, print, and copy content from the document. There are two types of PDF passwords: an owner password (which restricts editing, printing, and copying) and a user password (which prevents opening the file entirely). iLoveDoc's Unlock PDF tool handles both types. If you know the password but want to remove the restriction for convenience, you can enter it and generate an unrestricted copy. This is a common need when you've received a password-protected document from a colleague and want to work with it freely, or when you need to remove restrictions from your own documents that you've forgotten the owner password for. All processing happens locally in your browser — your password and document are never transmitted to any server, providing maximum security during the unlocking process.
