#16 Please van you kindly add support to 256 bit encrypted PDF files
Hi.
1st of all, let we say congrajulation for your return to project after long inactivity time ! I was very exited when I detected few days ago that there are new recent release & fix ....
Currently, your great program not support 256 bit encrypted PDF files. This is very disappointing as many modern PDF have such encryption level. It will be very useful to see pdfcrack support 256 bit encryption.
I have error in title of subject: I mean "Please can you kindly ......" not 'van', it is 'can'. Sorry. I can not find option to edit it. Please - if you can - edit title.
Any news on this request? PDFcrack seems great but I used it for the first time today and it returned "The specific version is not supported (Standard - 6)" which apparently means that 256-bit uncryption is not supported. So I am looking forward to the next update...
Many thanks for the work already done!
Unfortunately no news, pdfcrack is basically in maintenance mode for me as I have little interest or update it (although I do update for bug-fixes still, if reported).
The latest PDF standard is at least added to now poppler (probably xpdf also, that pdfcrack was based on) so those libraries could exemplify how to support it if someone puts some time into it.
Patches are welcome, but currently I have no real interest in doing it.
