Can this bypass a password I don't know?

Remove a password from a PDF

Remove password protection from a PDF you have the right to unlock.

Unlock PDF needs a connected conversion service. This operation can't be done reliably in the browser or with plain PHP, so Quire is built to call a real document-conversion engine here. Once CONVERT_API_KEY is set in config/config.php, this tool becomes fully functional — nothing is faked in the meantime.
