How do I unlock a PDF?

  1. Choose your protected PDF.
  2. Enter its password (not needed if it only has printing or copying restrictions).
  3. Press “Unlock PDF”, then download the version without a password.

Bank statements, payslips, invoices: many documents arrive password-protected. To file them, merge them or send them as part of an application, it is easier to remove this protection.

Enter the password you know: TwoDocument saves an identical copy, without a password. Printing and copying restrictions are removed too.

This tool is for unlocking your own documents, whose password you know. It cannot guess an unknown password. Everything happens on your device.

Frequently asked questions

Can I unlock a PDF without knowing the password?

No. If a password is needed to open the document, you must know it. Only printing or copying restrictions can be removed without it.

Is the content changed?

No, the document is identical; only the protection is removed.

Can I then merge or compress the file?

Yes, that is exactly the point: use “What next?” after unlocking.

Is my password sent anywhere?

No, neither the document nor the password leaves your device.
