Recover PDF Password is a Mac tool that recovers forgotten passwords to PDF documents. If the PDF is password-protected, Recover PDF Password will retrieve both “owner” and “user” passwords, even if you cannot remember a single character from the key combination, using brute-force passwords verification.

The dictionary options let you choose between all the types of letters, digits and symbols that you think might be in the password:

After determining all the options, you can start the recovery:

And then, it’s just a matter of time until the password is recovered (complex and long passwords will, obviously, take longer):

Recover PDF Password is a simple and easy to use tool that can simplify you life.
