Frequently Asked Questions
No. PDFZen4u requires the correct password to decrypt the document. This is by design — removing password protection without knowing the password would undermine the security of encrypted PDFs. PDFZen4u only helps you remove protection from documents you legitimately own and have the password for.
Yes. Your file never leaves your device. The decryption happens entirely in your browser using the pdf-lib library, so no server ever receives your document or its password.
