Frequently Asked Questions
Is it secure?
Yes! All processing happens in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to any server.
Can I remove the password later?
Yes, if you know the password, you can use a PDF Unlock tool (or simply "Print to PDF" in some browsers) to remove it.
What if I forget the password?
Unfortunately, PDF encryption is strong. If you lose the password, the file cannot be recovered easily.
