How PDF decryption works
PDF password protection encrypts the file contents so they cannot be read without the correct key. When you enter the password, this tool uses pdf-lib to derive the decryption key, decrypt every byte of the file in your browser, and produce a clean copy with no encryption headers. The result is a standard PDF that opens freely in any viewer. Nothing is transmitted to a server at any point.
