Unlock PDF questions
Short answers, then the practical details.
Can I unlock a PDF if I forgot its password?
If the PDF requires a password to open, you need a valid password. Zipora does not recover forgotten passwords.
Can I unlock a PDF that opens but restricts printing?
Yes, for supported password-encrypted PDFs that open without a password. Leave the field blank to remove restrictions from a copy you are authorized to unlock.
What happens to the original file and digital signatures?
Zipora writes a separate file and leaves the original intact. Rewriting a digitally signed PDF can invalidate its signature. Keep the original for signature verification.
