Remove a Password from a PDF on Your Mac

Remove Password saves an unlocked copy of a PDF you have the password for, so you don't have to type it every time. Enter the password once and it is tried on every PDF in the list. It does not crack or guess passwords.

Questions about Remove Password

How do I remove a password from a PDF on Mac?

Drop the PDF into Remove Password, type its password and click Remove Password. The unlocked copy no longer asks for a password.

Can I unlock a PDF if I don't know the password?

No. You need the password. Toolbox is for PDFs you own, such as bank statements you're tired of unlocking.

How do I remove printing or copying restrictions?

PDFs that only restrict printing or copying need their owner password. Enter that password to save an unrestricted copy.
