NAME
pdfcrack - PDF files password cracker
SYNOPSIS
pdfcrack -f filename [options]
DESCRIPTION
pdfcrack is a simple tool for recovering passwords from pdf-documents.
It should be able to handle all pdfs that uses the standard security
handler but the pdf-parsing routines are a bit of a quick hack so you
might stumble across some pdfs where the parser needs to be fixed to
handle.

Use the characters in STRING as charset.
-m, --maxpw=INTEGER
Stop when reaching INTEGER as password length.

-l, --loadState=FILE
Continue from the state saved in FILENAME.
