PDF Unlocker – FAQs

question
What is the difference between an Open Password and an Owner Password in a PDF?

A PDF can have two types of passwords:

  • Open Password (User Password): Required to open and view the PDF file. Without it, you cannot access the content.
  • Owner Password (Permission Password): Restricts actions like editing, printing, copying, or adding annotations. You can view the file, but not modify it.
If you forgot the PDF password, DocPassRemover can help you recover it using advanced methods like Brute-Force Attack, Dictionary Attack, or Mask Attack. These methods systematically test combinations until the correct password is found, enabling you to open the password-protected PDF.
Yes. Unlike online PDF password remover tools that require you to upload your sensitive file to their server, DocPassRemover is a desktop application. The entire password recovery and removal process happens offline on your local computer, ensuring your documents remain private and secure.
Yes. If you know the Open Password (the one used to view the file), DocPassRemover can use it to instantly and completely remove all Owner Password (permission) restrictions, allowing you to edit a locked PDF, print, copy, and modify it freely.

The time required to crack a secured PDF password depends on its complexity and the method used:

  • Known Password/Restrictions: Instantaneous.
  • Simple Passwords: Can be recovered in minutes using Dictionary Attack.
  • Complex/Unknown Passwords: Brute-Force and Mask Attacks can take hours or even days, depending on the password length, character set, and your computer's performance.
Not at all. Your original file stays intact—decrypted without data loss or corruption.
No. DocPassRemover works on its own—you can unlock PDFs without installing Adobe Acrobat or any other app.
The tool supports 128-bit & 256-bit AES, and 128-bit RC4 encryption. Compatible with Adobe PDF versions 1.0 to 2.0—ensuring seamless unlocking for both old and new PDF files.
You only pay when it works. No unlock, no charge—guaranteed.
