Advanced PDF Password Recovery allows you to crack the protection of PDF files. But that isn't half of what this application does. Of course, password cracking is the main feature and it works flawlessly. The fact that "guessing" the passwords of PDF files was that easy actually amazed me. Advanced PDF Password Recovery uses two methods to "guess" those PDF passwords. The first one is the brute-force approach, which uses all possible combinations of characters until a password has been found. The second one is a dictionary-based approach, which uses a text file with common words in hope that they password contains them. You can create your own dictionaries or use the ones that come with this application. However, this application also allows you to eliminate some restrictions that PDF files some times have, like printing, copying, and editing protections. This program is able to remove both user and owner passwords, is compatible with most versions of PDF files and third-party PDFs and is really fast, since it was designed to take full use of dual-core technologies.
