PDF Unlocker

PDF Unlocker is a simple tool that allows you to quickly remove the restrictions from a Portable Document Format (PDF) file. It is designed to grant you access to all the available content without having to know the password that enforces the limitations.

The Internet is a never-ending source of information and many publishers are using the PDF file type to post articles, documentations and reviews on their websites. Unfortunately, some of the documents are protected in order to prevent printing or copying the text.

This tool aims to help you access the full content of the PDF file in order to extract quotes, to print certain pages for your presentations or to make annotations. It features a simple interface that allows you to select the file and to view the restrictions before attempting to remove them.

Although the program usage does not require previous experience and is quite intuitive, the package also includes a documentation with screenshots that presents all the steps.

In our tests, the application successfully removed the restrictions from the files without damaging the content. The output file is saved instantly and the program requires insignificant resources to export the unlocked PDF.

Obviously, the program usage can generate some copyright infringement issues when used to unlock and share content without having the proper authorization. However, it can be a very useful tool for the users who need to access a restricted document when they have forgot the password.

Unlike its name suggests, the application is designed only to remove the editing or printing limitations and not to retrieve or delete the access password. However, you can disable the restrictions from a password-protected file by entering the access password.

PDF Unlocker allows you to by-pass the restrictions from a PDF document with minimum effort and can be helpful when you need to print or edit its content.
