Frequently asked questions
What if I forgot the current password?
Then the file cannot be re-protected - you need the password you already have to change it. There is no way around that.
Can I also change printing restrictions?
Yes - permissions can be adjusted in the same pass.
Does the content change?
Not a byte - only the protection layer changes.
Can I change a PDF password if I forgot the current one?
No. You must know the current password to change it. The tool does not crack or bypass unknown passwords.
