By Administrator · Sunday, July 5 2026

Have you ever wanted to protect an important PDF from others' access, or needed to remove the password of a password protected PDF? At such a time, most of the tools and websites available on the Internet either work online, or are not easily accessible to blind users. Many services do not work with Screen Readers such as TalkBack. In such a situation, the Lock / Unlock feature of the Tech Assistant for Blind application provides an easy, secure and completely accessible solution. This feature is fully Compatible with TalkBack, so you can put a password on any PDF, change the password or remove protection from an already password protected PDF. The best part is that the entire process happens offline on your device, so it does not require an internet connection.
