![]() It runs two days and still not finding the password. John the Ripper used to work well on my Windows 7 PC but it failed recently on Windows 10 with October update. Only standard PDF security is supported, neither third-party plug-ins nor DRM.Īnd recent comment from an experienced user of “John” which was built for Unix This process takes 1-2 days on one modern desktop computer and could be accelerated on GPU. Decryption of the file with password for opening is guaranteed for old PDF documents with 40-bit key only. That then allows you to copy and print.įiles that are protected for opening are different, only those with OLD 40 bits can be opened within 2 days by GuaPDF and cant work with acrobat plugin DRMs SumatraPDF for annotations can ignore instantly the restrictions password just the same as GuaPDF or any other DRM free PDF viewer such as Evince Okular etc. That is, SumatraPDF will allow to temporarily ignore restrictions needed for annotation but respect DRM. Print as PDF would result in an unlocked image based pdf, exactly the same as taking screen grabs. However using “save as” in SumatraPDF will usually retain the need for the same password and will often require the same one of two passwords to save changes such as if you added comments. Many viewers such as Edge allow you to open a file with a password and may then allow you to print or save as new PDF. So for VERY old 40 bit encryption files or shorter 4/5 character passwords or even an “imperialistically” chosen long dictionary word just use an online service but if they ask you to handover the password first then wonder WHY! Is that not the reason you went there? ![]() You may be fooled into thinking my 2 bit password can be cracked I just forgot which 2 keys I accidentally pressed, Good for you IF it was just 2 keys its simple to flash through the permutations even if it was re-encoded as 5 byte characters. The problem arises when you forget your own password, then the acrobat support says you must NEVER forget it as the code is designed to not be broken. The easiest / official / reliable /secure way to remove the open with password is with Adobe Acrobat.
