This software enables the cracking of PDF master passwords and the removal of limitations, including Adobe extended rights management and AES 256 R6 encryption (for Acrobat X and above).

Sometimes, you might encounter a PDF file that prevents you from printing, copying, or editing it. This is because it is protected by a "master password." Fortunately, pdf-Recover can instantly disable these restrictions and remove the password and security settings.
If you forgot your password, pdf-Recover can reset encrypted files and provide them without any restrictions. The IT SecCity - The Home of IT-Security magazine even labelled pdf-Recover as an ideal tool for those who forgot their PDF master password.
It's worth noting though that pdf-Recover does not work with documents that have user-level passwords set, eBooks that require Adobe Digital Editions, or PDF documents that are protected by third-party products.
The software also supports PDF packages and pdf files with incorrect xref tables. If you need further features, pdf-Recover Professional is available for you. You can also opt for the Server Edition if you need to unlock unlimited numbers of PDF files in one step.
In summary, pdf-Recover is a reliable tool that can decrypt files up to 256-bit AES (Adobe X) encryption and enable edit, copy, print, and annotate functions again. It removes the "master password" of a PDF and creates a 1:1 copy of your file without any limitations, so you can edit, copy, and print texts and images from your document.
