How PDF Password Recovery Works

Upload your password-protected PDF file
System detects PDF encryption version and difficulty
Choose dictionary, mask, or brute force attack method
Pay start fee and monitor real-time recovery progress
Get your PDF password revealed after successful recovery

PDF RC4 Password Recovery (Easy)

Older PDF files use RC4 encryption (40/64/128-bit), which is significantly faster to crack than AES. Dictionary attacks with Best64 or Jumbo rules achieve very high success rates. Brute force up to 8+ characters is feasible.

PDF AES-256 Password Recovery (Hard)

Modern PDF files use AES-128 or AES-256 encryption, which is computationally expensive. Dictionary attacks still work for common passwords. For better results, use the mask attack builder if you remember any part of your password.

Tips for Better PDF Recovery

Know your PDF creator? RC4-based PDFs (older Acrobat) are much faster to recover
Try dictionary + Best64 rules first — most users use common passwords
For AES-256 PDFs, a targeted mask attack is far more effective than random brute force
Remember the approximate length? Use brute force with exact length for fast results

Frequently Asked Questions

What PDF encryption types do you support?

We support all major PDF encryption: RC4 40/64/128-bit and AES 128/256-bit — covering virtually all password-protected PDF files.

Can you remove the PDF password entirely?

We recover the password that was used to encrypt the PDF. Once you have the password, you can open the document and save it without a password.

How long does PDF password recovery take?

RC4-encrypted PDFs: typically minutes to a few hours. AES-256 PDFs: hours to days. With a targeted mask attack, even hard PDFs can be solved quickly.

Is my PDF content safe?

Yes. Files are processed in isolated server environments, never accessed by humans, and deleted within 48 hours.
