Add a file from this device.
How it works
Process clears print and copy flags and downloads the file. An open-password wall is not removed here. Permission flags only. The job runs in this tab. The file is not posted to PactPDF. The file must already open.
On this device
The file stays in this tab. The unlocked flags file downloads here. Close the tab and the job is gone. There is no locker.
When to use
A file that opens, but blocks print or copy. A pack that should print without the flag. Notes that need to copy text after the flags are cleared.
When not to use
A file that asks for a password before it opens. That is Decrypt, and only if you know the password. Unlock does not guess passwords. No cracking.
