Two Kinds of PDF Protection
PDFs can be protected in two different ways. Here's what this tool can remove.
| Protection | What it does | Can Toolszu remove it? |
|---|---|---|
| Open password | You must type a password to open the PDF at all | Yes — if you enter the correct password |
| Restrictions (permissions) | The PDF opens, but printing, copying or editing is blocked | Yes — no password needed |

Good to Know
- Forgot the password? This tool can't guess or crack passwords. Ask the sender, or check the email or bank instructions — statements often use a date of birth or part of your account number.
- Only unlock files you are allowed to. Use this tool for your own documents or ones you have permission to change.
- Want to protect it again later? Add a new password with Protect PDF.
