Description
-----------

This program (Advanced PDF Password Recovery, or simply APDFPR)
can be used to decrypt protected Adobe Acrobat PDF files, which
have "owner" password set, preventing the file from editing
(changing), printing, selecting text and graphics (and copying
them into the Clipboard), or adding/changing annotations and
form fields (in any combination). Decryption is being done
instantly. Decrypted file can be opened in any PDF viewer (e.g.
Adobe Acrobat Reader) without any restrictions -- i.e. with
edit/copy/print/annotate functions enabled. Please note that
APDFPR doesn't work with documents which have user-level
passwords (preventing the files from being opened), if both
user and owner passwords are unknown.


Requirements
------------

- Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT 2000
- about 600 kilobytes of hard disk space
