Frequently Asked Questions
What does Unlock PDF do?
Unlock PDF creates a new copy of a PDF that can be opened
without the original encryption settings. If the source PDF
requires a password, enter the correct password before processing.
Can I unlock a password-protected PDF?
Yes, when the PDF password is known. Enter the password in the
PDF Password field and process the document in your browser.
Does the tool upload my PDF?
The conversion is designed to run locally in your browser.
Your selected PDF is processed by the browser rather than
being sent to a KBPIXO server.
Can I preview the PDF before unlocking it?
Yes. The live preview includes page navigation, zoom controls,
Fit Page, Actual Size and Wide View options.
Can I choose Portrait or Landscape?
Yes. Choose Portrait or Landscape before creating the unlocked
copy. The preview also adapts to the selected orientation.
Can I unlock multiple PDF files?
Multiple PDF files can be selected. Each file is processed
separately and the unlocked copies are prepared for download.
Can I unlock only selected pages?
Yes. Use the Page Range field with values such as
1-3, 5, 8-10. Leave it empty to process all available pages.
Does unlocking make scanned PDF text editable?
No. Unlocking changes the PDF access state but does not perform
OCR. A scanned PDF will remain visually readable as an image-based
document.
