Is the password sent to a server?

No. Unlocking happens entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Your password is never uploaded or stored.

Will it work on every protected PDF?

It works on PDFs with owner restrictions and most user passwords. Some heavily encrypted PDFs may need the original password to fully decrypt.

We detect that automatically and let you download a clean copy without changes.
