Unlock PDF removes the password protection from a PDF when you already know the password, and gives you a new copy that opens without one. Everything happens in your browser.
No. It only removes the protection when you already know the password and enter it. It never guesses, brute-forces, uses dictionaries or bypasses a password in any way — a wrong password simply returns "incorrect password".
The standard password security handler with AES-256, AES-128, and the older RC4-128 and RC4-40. Unsupported formats (for example certificate / public-key encryption) get a clear "not supported" message rather than being mistaken for unencrypted or corrupt files.
No. Everything runs in your browser; neither the file nor the password is sent to JoeLucky, and the password is never stored or logged. You download a new PDF that opens without a password, and your original file is not changed.
