Questions
Can Toolbox unlock a PDF if I forgot the password?
No. Remove Password needs the password you use to open the file. It cannot recover, guess or bypass a password.
Which files can I unlock?
PDF files and password protected Word, Excel and PowerPoint files: DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT and PPTX. Unsupported encryption returns an error for that file only.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Toolbox is a desktop app, so it reads and writes the file on your own computer. It never uploads your files.
Does it change the original file?
No. Toolbox saves a new file beside the original and never overwrites it.
