"I'm not easily impressed, but this one is good."
Version: pdf-Recover 7.1.1
Pros
None of that waiting half an hour or even much longer, for the software to "guess" the password. It just makes an almost instant unlocked copy of the file.
Cons
It won't work on a file that has to have a user password, in order to open the file. But they say that up front. That still requires a brute force password attack, like "Recover PDF Password". That's the only additional feature that I could ask for.
Summary
I'm not easily impressed. But this software does exactly what it says. There are no bells and whistles. It simply makes an almost instant unlocked copy of the locked PDF document. It won't open an encrypted file, but it will make an unlocked version of any file that can be opened without a password.
I often receive signed contracts from people who sign the document that I also need to sign. The problem is that they then lock the file, so no changes can be made, which means that I would be unable to sign it, without scanning it. This enables me to sign the document both with a secured image and with an electronic signature.
Personally, I much prefer electronic signatures. But the rest of the world hasn't yet golmmed onto the additional security provided by digital signatures.
So, while the rest of the world plays catch-up, on digital signatures, I'll use pdf-Recover, to unlock those locked files that I need to sign.
Good going, guys. The price is a little high, for a product that does only one thing. But it does that one thing very well.
