Questions

Can it unlock a PDF if I don't know the password?

No. It only removes a password you enter, or one the PDF doesn't need to open. It never guesses or cracks passwords.

What about PDFs that open but won't let me print?

Those have only an owner password. Leave the password field empty and the restrictions are removed.

Is my password sent anywhere?

No. The PDF is unlocked inside your browser, and the password is never saved or sent.

Does unlocking change the PDF's content?

No. The pages stay exactly as they were; only the encryption is removed.
