Frequently asked questions

Do I need the password?

To remove an open password, yes — you must know it. Kameleo doesn't crack passwords; it removes protection from files you can already open. Files that only have printing/copying restrictions unlock without a password.

Is my password sent anywhere?

No. Unlocking happens on your device; the password never touches our servers.

Why would I unlock a PDF?

To stop re-typing a password on a file you own, to enable printing/copying you're allowed, or to prepare it for other tools.
