Remove PDF Restrictions

Some documents open without a password but refuse to print or allow text selection. This removes those permission flags. A file that needs a password to open still needs it.

What it will not do

  • This only works on documents that already open without a password. If the file is genuinely locked, use Unlock PDF and supply the password.
  • Only use this on documents you are entitled to change.

Where this runs

Remove PDF Restrictions runs entirely inside this page. Your file is read by the browser, processed in memory and handed back to your downloads folder. It is never sent to a server, because there is no server involved in this tool.
