The two kinds of locked PDF
People call both “locked”, but they behave differently and only one of them needs anything from you.
- Open password
- The file will not open at all until the password is typed. Nobody can recover this for you, so you have to supply it — we will ask for each file that needs one.
- Permissions password
- The file opens fine but is marked no-copy, no-print or no-edit. Those marks are an honour system that readers choose to obey, and they come off without a password.
What happens to your file
- Your PDF is held in memory for the seconds it takes to process and is never written to disk.
- The password you type is used once and never stored or logged.
- The unlocked file is sent straight back to your browser. We keep only its name, size and outcome.
