Frequently Asked Questions

Can I unlock a PDF without the password?+
No. KhanX Tools requires the correct password. This tool never bypasses security — it is strictly for PDFs you own.
What if I enter the wrong password?+
A clear error message is shown and you can retry with the correct password.
Will all restrictions be removed?+
Yes. Both the open password and any permission restrictions (printing, copying, editing) are removed in the unlocked file.
Why is the unlocked file smaller?+
Encryption metadata is stripped from the file, which slightly reduces its size.
