Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to enter the password once?
Modern AES-256 encrypted PDFs require the decryption key to read internal streams. Once decrypted, this tool strips the encryption wrapper so you never need to enter it again.
Is my password sent across the internet?
No. The entire decryption routine executes locally in your browser memory.
