Remove Password from PDF: what you need to know

Bank statements and payslips often arrive password-protected, which is a nuisance when you need to open them often or upload them somewhere. If you know the password, FilesForU saves an unlocked copy so you never have to type it again.

This tool doesn't crack or guess passwords — you need the correct one. PDFs that only have printing or copying restrictions can be unlocked without a password.
