Frequently asked questions

Can this crack a password I don't know?

No. This only removes protection from documents you can already open — please respect the owner's rights.

Is the original file changed?

No. You get a new unlocked copy; your source file stays as it is.

How long is my file kept?

It's deleted immediately after processing, with an automatic sweep every hour as a backstop.
