💡 How PDF unlocking works:
Your PDF is decrypted locally using pdf.js. The password you enter is used to decrypt the document. Once unlocked, all restrictions (printing, copying, editing) are removed. Your password is never transmitted anywhere. If you don't know the password, the PDF cannot be unlocked – there is no backdoor.
