FAQ
Unlock PDF FAQ
Important information about unlocking PDFs.
Can I unlock any PDF?
No. Only unlock documents you own or are explicitly authorized to modify. Removing security from files you do not own may violate law or policy.
What if I forgot the password?
Recovery is not guaranteed. DocMint cannot bypass encryption without legitimate credentials.
Will formatting change?
Unlocking removes restrictions; page content typically stays the same.
Is this the same as cracking encryption?
No legitimate tool should help break into files without authorization. Use unlock features only with proper rights.
