A secure way to unlock your PDF
Removing the password from a PDF is only the first step. Once the file opens, the built-in editor puts the tools you need in one place, so you can adjust it to fit the job: fix text, add images, leave annotations for collaboration, or sign using one of three methods. To make sure all those edits happen without a drag, we keep refining the tech part with every update. That way, any time you need to unlock a PDF without a password, you can count on a fast, responsive workflow.
What can you unlock?
Open password
An open password, also called a user password, encrypts the file and must be entered before the PDF can be viewed.
Permissions password
An owner password lets people view the PDF but restricts actions such as editing, copying, and printing.
Unlock, edit, and use your PDF freely
Restricted PDFs block markup, so unlock the file and sign or edit it on-screen instead of printing, signing, and scanning back.
- Sign a contract on-screen and send it back the same day
- Type directly into a form field instead of filling it by hand
- Leave comments or edits on a document before you approve it
