What this tool does

Create an unlocked copy when the browser-side PDF engine can open the source document.

When to use it

Use it for PDFs that have simple restrictions but are still readable by the local PDF library.

Privacy and local processing

The file is opened and re-saved locally.

Limitations

Strong encryption, unknown passwords, or unsupported security handlers cannot be bypassed reliably in browser-only mode.

Tips

Use this only for documents you are allowed to edit. If it fails, the PDF likely uses stronger protection.
