Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I forget my password?

The PDF cannot be recovered without the password. AES-256 encryption is designed to be irreversible. Always store your password safely.

What is the difference between user and owner passwords?

The user password is required to open and view the PDF. The owner password controls permissions โ€” it allows the holder to edit, print or copy content. Both can be the same password.

Is my PDF password stored on your servers?

No. Encryption happens entirely in your browser. Your password and PDF file never leave your device. We have no access to either.
