What types of PDF encryption are supported?

The tool handles standard PDF security methods defined in PDF specification: User password protection - requires password to open/view document content (most common type we remove), Owner password restrictions - controls printing, copying, editing permissions (also removable), Encryption levels - 40-bit RC4 (old Acrobat 3-5), 128-bit RC4 (Acrobat 5-7), 128/256-bit AES (Acrobat 7-9/X), 256-bit AES (Acrobat X+/PDF 2.0, strongest).

Is there a file size limit for PDF decryption?

File size limits vary by membership level: Free users - maximum 10MB per PDF file, up to 3 files processed simultaneously, sufficient for most documents (reports, contracts, ebooks under 100 pages), typical processing time: 5-15 seconds.

Will my PDF password be stored or logged on your servers?

Absolutely NOT. Our strict privacy policy ensures: Zero password storage - passwords are held only in server memory during active decryption process, deleted immediately after processing completes (within seconds), never written to disk/database/log files, no backups contain passwords.
