PDF Restrictions Remover

Key features

• Removes owner-password permission restrictions (print/copy locks) by rebuilding the document page by page.
• Detects encryption status up front and labels it: Restrictions detected or No encryption.
• Open-password PDFs are refused with a clear explanation instead of a fake success.
• Before/after size tiles show what the rebuild produced.
• Saves as yourname-unlocked.pdf, with a re-download button in the result panel.

How it works

1. 1

   Drop The Restricted PDF

   The tool inspects it and shows the page count plus an encryption badge.

2. 2

   Review The Status

   Permission-locked files are ready to process; open-password files are declined here.

3. 3

   Remove Restrictions

   A fresh, restriction-free copy is assembled from the original pages.

4. 4

   Download The Unlocked File

   It saves automatically under the -unlocked.pdf name.

Tips for better results

• 💡Only use this on documents you own or are allowed to modify.
• 💡If the tool reports an open password, re-export the file without one from the app that created it.
• 💡Your original file is never altered — the output is a brand-new PDF.
