Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about security, formatting standards, and zero server upload privacy.
01. Do I need to know the password to unlock the document? ▼
Yes. For security and regulatory compliance, you must provide the authorized password. The tool then removes the encryption permanently so you do not need to re-type it.
02. Does Zenith store my password or decrypted documents? ▼
Never. Decryption is computed entirely inside your browser memory using WebAssembly. Passwords and files never leave your computer.
03. Will unlocking restore print and copy permissions? ▼
Yes. Once unlocked, all security permission restrictions (printing, text selection, commenting) are permanently removed from the saved file.
04. Why is client-side PDF unlocking safer than cloud converters? ▼
Cloud converters require you to transmit both confidential documents and sensitive passwords across the web to their servers. Zenith keeps everything strictly on your device.
05. Is this service free to use? ▼
Yes, completely free with zero limits on document size or frequency.
