Frequently Asked Questions
How does local browser PDF unlocking work?
When you feed a password-protected PDF alongside its passcode, pdf-lib loads the document streams in client-side hardware threads. Upon successful authentication, our serializing engine writes the page objects into standard unencrypted dictionaries and saves them as a normal unencrypted PDF for you.
Can this tool decrypt a PDF if I do not know the password?
Due to secure sandbox constraints and respects to document privacy, this tool does not execute brute-force or dictionary-attack hacking workflows. You must know the correct password to unlock and decrypt the document streams.
