Remove a PDF password you know
Open a password-protected PDF with its password and save an unlocked copy, or lift editing restrictions from a file you have the right to modify.
How to use Unlock PDF

- Review the unlock options.
- Download the unlocked copy.
When to use it

Questions
Can it open a PDF if I forgot the password?
