If You Forgot a PDF Password
Key points
- Know what it cannot do
- Ask the sender
- Look for another way
Remove a Password from a PDF only removes a password you already know. It does not guess or crack passwords.
What to do
- Ask the person who sent the PDF for the password again.
- Look in your email or notes.
- If it is still unknown, ask the creator to reissue the PDF.

- Compress PDF: Shrink a PDF to fit under a size you choose, for upload limits.
