Frequently asked questions
Is my password sent anywhere?
No. Unlocking runs entirely in your browser. Your password is never stored, logged or sent to any server, and it is cleared when you start over.
I forgot my password. Can you recover it?
No. File Station can't recover or crack a password. If you don't know it, the PDF can't be unlocked here.
What about PDFs that only restrict printing or copying?
Many PDFs open without a password but block printing, copying or editing. Leave the password blank and Unlock PDF removes those restrictions, saving a copy you can use freely.
