Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know the password to unlock a PDF?

Yes. HollaPDF requires the correct password to unlock a PDF. We cannot bypass or crack passwords — you must know the current password to remove it.

What is the difference between a password protected PDF and a permission restricted PDF?

A password protected PDF requires a password to open it. A permission restricted PDF can be opened freely but has restrictions on copying editing or printing. HollaPDF handles both types.

Can I unlock a PDF I received from someone else?

What if the wrong password is entered?

If you enter the wrong password the tool will show an error message. Please check your password and try again.
