Description

Attempts to recover passwords for PDF files from the command line. It can help when someone has a legitimate PDF, owns the file, and forgot the password needed to open or use it.

This kind of tool can also be misused. It should only be used on documents the user is authorized to access, and results may take significant time depending on the password strength.
