Frequently asked questions

3
Can you recover or crack a forgotten password?
No. You must supply the correct user or owner password and confirm authorization. FileNova does not guess passwords, brute force encryption or bypass authorization.
Which encryption is supported?
Standard PDF password security supported by QPDF, including common RC4 and AES variants. Certificate encryption and unsupported security handlers cannot be unlocked. A restriction-only PDF still requires its correct non-empty owner password here.
Will my original document change?
No. A separate decrypted PDF is generated and structurally checked. Rewriting invalidates existing digital signatures; review the downloaded document before relying on it. Maximum file size is 25 MB.
