Questions
How do I know if my PDF has restrictions?
Each file in the list shows its limits, like no printing or no copying. If none of the files have limits, the tool tells you there is nothing to remove.
Do I need the owner password?
No. If the file needs a password just to open it, type that one.
Can I use it on any PDF?
Use it only for files you own or are allowed to change.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The limits are removed on your device.
