FAQ
Can I unlock a PDF without the password?
No. You must know the correct password to unlock the PDF. PDFGem does not crack or bypass passwords.
Which encryption methods are supported?
The bundled library handles common Standard-security PDFs using RC4, AES-128, or AES-256. Custom or uncommon encryption schemes may fail.
Is the content preserved after unlocking?
Visible page content is normally retained, but the file is re-saved rather than copied byte for byte. Certificate-based digital signatures may become invalid; verify the output.
Is my password sent to a server?
No. Decryption happens entirely in your browser. Your password and file data never leave your device.
Can I unlock multiple PDFs at once?
Currently one file at a time. After unlocking, click Process another to unlock additional files.
