Questions, answered
Can this crack a PDF I don't have the password for?
No. You need the password to open a protected file. Files that only restrict printing or copying can be unlocked without one.
What happens to my file after it's processed?
Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, processed, and returned to you straight away. We don’t keep a copy: temporary working files are deleted the moment the conversion finishes, and nothing is stored afterwards.
