Analyze PDF security and password protection
About PDF Security
PDFs can have two types of password protection: a user password (required to open the document) and an owner password (restricts printing, copying, and editing). This tool helps you understand the security settings on your PDF files.
What This Tool Does
- Analyzes PDF encryption and password settings
- Shows document permissions (print, copy, modify)
- Displays PDF metadata (title, author, version)
- Allows entering a password to open protected PDFs
- 100% client-side -- your files and passwords never leave your device
Limitations
This tool cannot remove or bypass PDF passwords. It can only open a PDF if you provide the correct password. Removing PDF encryption requires the original password or specialized server-side software. All processing happens in your browser for maximum privacy.
