Remove PDF protection immediately
Quickly access password-protected PDF files! If there is no "password to open" or if you know it, you can instantly unlock restricted PDF documents by removing restrictions on printing, editing and copying. Advanced Password Recovery instantly recovers or removes passwords if these PDF documents are protected or locked. This applies to PDF documents created with all versions of Adobe Acrobat or any other PDF application.
Recover PDF passwords
Can't open a password-protected PDF document? You can break the "password to open" by performing a sophisticated GPU-accelerated attack. With Elcomsoft Advanced PDF Password Recovery, dictionary attacks can be easily combined with brute force. Use a combination of masks, patterns and rules to reduce the number of passwords to test. Thanks to cutting-edge GPU acceleration, today's high-performance video cards can break PDF passwords faster than ever before.
Strong password recovery
If the PDF document is protected with a strong 128-bit or 250-bit key, Advanced PDF Password Recovery will perform a series of attacks on the PDF document to obtain the original password. But even in this case, the possibilities do not end there!
Limitations of the trial version
The trial version decrypts only the first 10% of pages (but at least one page) of the documents and replaces all other pages with blank pages. A brute force attack cannot recover passwords longer than 4 characters; some dictionary attack options are disabled; "Use pre-computed hash dictionaries" is not available.
Instant access to protected PDF documents
Remove annoying restrictions in PDF files! Advanced PDF Password Recovery instantly unlocks PDF documents that prevent you from printing, editing or copying data to the clipboard. This type of restriction occurs very often in practice. When you can open a document without a password, but you cannot print it at all; or are limited to a less qualitative version; or you cannot copy data to the clipboard or edit the document. Don't bother any more and get theAdvanced PDF Password Recovery Standard edition!
Open passwords
What happens if you can't open a PDF document because you don't know the correct password? In this case, you need the password recovery feature included in the Professional and Enterprise editions of Advanced PDF Password Recovery.
Thunder Tables® technology (patented)
ElcomSoft's unique Thunder Tables® technology uses pre-configured directories to significantly speed up the recovery of 40-bit keys. The technology is included in the Enterprise Edition and can unlock a protected document in minutes instead of days.
Dictionary attack
Most passwords that people use are based on a word or phrase. By performing a dictionary attack (trying to find different combinations and variations of words and characters before moving on to a full-scale brute force attack), a lot of time can be saved.
Brute force attack
If the password cannot be recovered using a dictionary attack, Advanced PDF Password Recovery will try to find all possible password combinations using a brute force attack. The highly optimized low-level code provides the best possible performance for password recovery using the brute force method. Multi-thread optimization ensures optimal performance on modern multi-core processors.
DRM and third-party security plug-ins: Advanced PDF Password Recovery does not support PDF files protected with Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology or third-party security plug-ins such as FileOpen (FOPN_fLock).
Version 5.0 works with PDF files created in Adobe Acrobat X (with 256-bit AES encryption), with multi-core and multi-processor and hardware acceleration (with NVIDIA graphics cards).
