Unrestrict PDF

POST https://api.pdfrest.com/unrestricted-pdf

Remove security restrictions from a PDF that were applied using a permissions password. By default, this will remove all security restrictions (including encryption) that were password protected.

Required form-data body parameters:

• One of:
  • file - File to be uploaded and processed
  • id - Alphanumeric ID (UUID) of existing file on server to be processed
• current_permissions_password - Permissions password on the document.

Optional form-data body parameters:

• output - File name for the output file (without extension)
• current_open_password - An existing open password. Removing security from a PDF will ordinarily remove encryption in addition to other security restrictions. By supplying the correct password here, the output document will remain encrypted.
