Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about removing PDF passwords on ToolJi.
How do I remove a PDF password?
Upload your password-protected PDF, enter the current password used to open it, and click "Remove Password & Unlock PDF". ToolJi will create an unencrypted copy that opens without a password.
Do I need the current password?
Yes. To remove password protection from an open-protected PDF, you must supply the correct existing password. If your PDF only has print/copy restrictions, ToolJi can strip restrictions directly.
Is my PDF uploaded to any server?
No. All PDF processing and decryption occur 100% locally inside your web browser. Neither your file bytes nor your password are ever sent to any remote server or stored anywhere.
What happens if I enter the wrong password?
If you enter an incorrect password, ToolJi will notify you immediately with an error message. It will not unlock the document or attempt automated retries.
Can ToolJi crack a forgotten PDF password?
No. ToolJi does NOT crack, brute-force, or bypass unknown PDF passwords. ToolJi is a legitimate utility designed for users who already know their PDF password and want to save an unlocked copy.
