NAME¶
pdfcrack - PDF files password cracker
SYNOPSIS¶
pdfcrack -f filename [options]
DESCRIPTION¶
pdfcrack is a simple tool for recovering passwords from pdf-documents. It
should be able to handle all pdfs that uses the standard security handler but
the pdf-parsing routines are a bit of a quick hack so you might stumble across
some pdfs where the parser needs to be fixed to handle.

- -m, --maxpw=INTEGER
- Stop when reaching INTEGER as password length.
- -n, --minpw=INTEGER
- Skip trying passwords shorter than INTEGER.
- -l, --loadState=FILE
- Continue from the state saved in FILENAME.

- -p, --password=STRING
