3

This tool removes print/copy/edit restrictions, not forgotten encryption passwords.
If you know the open password, enter it and the tool will create an unrestricted copy.
The original encrypted file is never modified.

Can this crack a forgotten password?

No. PDFMint cannot brute-force or bypass open passwords. You must know the password to unlock an encrypted PDF.

What restrictions can be removed?

Print restrictions, copy/paste restrictions, and edit restrictions can be removed.

Is this legal?

Removing restrictions from PDFs you own or have authorization to modify is legal. Do not use this on documents you don't have permission to access.

No sign-up required. Your files never leave your device.
