Unlock Aadhaar PDF: common questions
Can ScalePDF open my Aadhaar PDF without the password?
No, and it doesn’t try. You type the password once; ScalePDF then saves a copy that doesn’t ask for it. If the password is not accepted, check the spelling of your name exactly as it is on the Aadhaar.
Is there a limit on how many PDFs I can unlock?
No. There is no daily or monthly limit and no account, and it stays free for life: use it as often as you like. Files up to 50 MB in all are processed on ScalePDF’s server; bigger ones are processed right on your device, which can take a little longer.
Is it safe to unlock my Aadhaar here?
The file and password go to ScalePDF’s server over an encrypted connection, are used in memory to remove the lock, and are deleted the moment the copy comes back. Nothing is stored, logged or shared. Keep the unlocked copy somewhere private, because anyone can open it.
Does unlocking change my Aadhaar?
Only the password is removed. The pages are not changed. The digital signature check in Adobe Reader may no longer show as valid on the copy, so keep the original file too.
