Unlock PDF Documents Online

by Ricky on June 15, 2009

pdfHave you ever faced problem in opening PDF files or at least copy-pasting it? Well there are lots of possible reasons for that. Sometimes the author of the document has used different font that is not available in your system or not supported by it. Some authors locks the document for protection.

Few days back I got a few documents for my project work but unfortunately I couldn’t find the password and the author also forgot to mention it. Later I tried some online PDF viewer to check those files but all in vain.

Yesterday I was looking for the solution (of course on Google) and luckily I found out this free service which lets you open any locked PDF documents online for free. All you need to do is to browse your PDF file stored in the system and rest will be done by Ensode.

The unlocked version of the PDF will be displayed in a new browser window, opened in the default PDF application for your system (usually Adobe Acrobat Reader) :-) .

The maximum size limit is 5Mb.
Check it out here
Have you come across any service like this? Pls share your experience with :smile: us

Really nice article to Unlock PDF Documents Online, but would not it be dangerous to give your imp. pdf to third party ?

@Ruchi
I guess they don’t store the information on their server so you don’t need to worry about the privacy. Thanx for the point I will check out their privacy policy asap.

Nice little find there Ricky, I guess there is no way of really locking anything now days. People always find a way of breaking it.

I seem to agree with Ruchi when it comes to using a third party to unlock things, but I guess you are also right in saying that they won’t store it.

Thanks for sharing this, I have bookmarked it.

Thanks Ricky, I will bookmark this. I remember a couple of years ago when our teacher forced us to borrow e-books to “save money”. Unfortunatley they would only last 30 days, so we had to log in and borrow them once a month.
