User Password vs. Owner Password
Before paying for password removal, make sure you actually need it. PDFs have two distinct types of passwords:
User (Open) Password
Prevents opening the PDF entirely. You see "Enter password" when trying to view the file. This is what we remove.
Owner (Permissions) Password
Restricts printing, copying, or editing but allows viewing. You can usually remove this locally: open the PDF in Chrome, press Ctrl+P, and "Save as PDF". No paid service needed.
