Crack PDF Password Protection

“We have to password protect our PDFs,” shared Ivan, who works for an education grant evaluation firm, “because K-12 school administrators would revise our evaluation of their grant implementation to be more favorable to their efforts.” He chuckled, “So, now I password every PDF document before I send it off.”
That’s a false sense of security. Adobe PDFs have been crackable for a long time. With a copy of Advanced PDF Password Recovery Professional edition from ElcomSoft, you can bypass the protection PDFs offer. And, anyways, wouldn’t it be better to just publish the results on a web site? Where’s transparency in K-12, anyways? (smile)
MakeUseOf.com recently shared this alternative approach to cracking PDFs…Use David R. Heffelfinger’s Ensode PDF Crack Utility. It has a 5 meg file limit, though.
