Capabilities & Limitations
What restrictions can be removed?
- Owner password restrictions (printing, copying, editing)
- PDF form fill and annotation restrictions
- Page extraction and assembly restrictions
Known limitation:
- PDFs protected with a User Password (required just to open the file) use AES encryption on the content itself. This cannot be removed in the browser — you need the original password and a desktop tool.
