Questions and Answers

How can I remove the password protection from PDF files?

  1. Use the file selection box at the top of the page to select the PDF files from which you want to remove protection.
  2. Enter the password that was used to encrypt the PDF.
  3. Remove the protection from the PDFs by pressing the corresponding button.
  4. Save the unprotected PDFs on your computer by pressing the download button.

Is it possible to remove the PDF password without knowing the password?

If you want to remove the password of a PDF file with the PDF24 tool, it is important to know that you need to know the current password of the file. PDF24 is not a password cracker and cannot decrypt protected PDFs without the correct password.

Nowadays, many PDF files are protected with strong encryption, such as AES 256-bit. This type of encryption is considered extremely secure - cracking a password by mere guessing would take countless years even with powerful hardware and is practically impossible.

The PDF24 tool offers you an easy way to remove a known password from the file so that you can open the file in future without entering a password. However, the prerequisite for this is that you already know the correct password.
