🔒 Files are processed securely, kept only temporarily, and deleted automatically.
PDFLines removes the open password from a PDF so you can share, process, or archive it without needing to enter credentials each time.
Common uses include unlocking PDFs received from colleagues, removing a known password you no longer need, and preparing files for further processing with other tools.
Your file and password are transmitted over HTTPS and used only for this decryption job. Files and outputs are deleted automatically after the download window.
Privacy note: Files are uploaded to PDFLines only for the requested job, kept only as needed to complete processing and make the result temporarily available, then deleted automatically.
Only if the PDF uses an empty user password. If a password is required, you must provide it.
It is kept only for the temporary job lifecycle, encrypted if written to Redis, never logged, and removed when the job finishes or expires.
