NAME

       pdfcrack - Password recovery tool for PDF-files

SYNOPSIS

       pdfcrack [ -f ] FILE [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       PDFCrack is a tool for recovering passwords and content from PDF-files.

       If  aborted  with Ctrl-C or by receiving a SIGINT signal, pdfcrack will automatically save
       current position. The position will be saved in a file called  savedstate.sav  in  current
       working directory.

       Mandatory arguments for long options are mandatory for short options too.
