Only the encryption layer is removed. Pages, text and formatting are exactly as they were.

Questions
Can this open a PDF if I do not know the password?
No. If the document needs a password to open, you have to supply it. This tool removes protection from files you are entitled to access. It does not break encryption.
What if the PDF opens but will not let me print?
That is an owner restriction rather than an open password, and it can be removed without entering anything.
How long are my files kept?
Two hours, then they are deleted automatically. There is also a delete button on the result screen if you want them gone immediately.
Do you look at the contents of my documents?
No. Files are processed automatically and are never read by a person or used to train any model.
Is there a watermark on the result?
No. What you download is exactly what the tool produced.
