    "App not finished"

    December 16, 2011  |   By BridgitBlue

    Version: PDFKey Pro 3.13

    Pros

    nice features generally

    Cons

    sometimes crashes, when used decryption

    app need to finish it - it recovers only owner password, and Pdf password for the last time protected by user password.

    Summary

    I cannot undesrtand why developers release and distribute apps which are not fully. What i mean? I mean, that useful recovery tools should unlock two types of passwords, not only OWNER!

    "Works OK for me"

    July 17, 2011  |   By 2ndgenirish

    Version: PDFKey Pro 3.13

    Pros

    PDFKey Pro for me has been quick and effective.

    Cons

    None since the program has worked every time for me.

    Summary

    Has not failed me yet though I have used it only a few times. I got it to unlock .pdf forms because I want to keep copies.
    I asked the developer if I could have to removed password, and got a reply that the program does not identify a password, just removes.
