Questions

Is my PDF uploaded?

Nothing is uploaded: the PDF is read and written inside this browser tab, so it never leaves your device.

Does it work with password-protected PDFs?

Yes, that is what this tool is for.

Can it unlock a PDF without the password?

Only if the PDF has no open password and just restricts printing or copying: leave the password empty. A PDF that asks for a password to open needs that password.
