PDF Unlocking is the process of removing password protection and permission restrictions from a secured PDF document. By providing the correct password once, you can decrypt the document and create a copy that can be opened, edited, printed, or shared freely. This is particularly useful when managing documents you own but no longer require restricted credentials to access.
