About Unlock PDF

Unlock PDF removes the password from a PDF you are allowed to open, saving an unprotected copy so you do not have to type the password every time — for example on bank statements that arrive encrypted.

When people use it

  • Removing the password from monthly bank or card statements.
  • Preparing an encrypted file for merging or editing.
  • Archiving documents you own without password prompts.

Tips for better results

  • You need the correct password; avalpdf does not crack passwords.
  • Only unlock documents you have the right to access.
  • Keep unlocked copies somewhere private.
