This looks like a brute force cracker that can also use a wordlist.  A 
"wordlist" in this context is a dictionary that can try "real words" 
rather than just all of the possible combinations and permutations of 
the letters. * If you want to try it, you might also google search for 
"pdfcrack wordlist" for how to find and use wordlists.


* If you don't know, a wordlist approach would try, for example: cab, 
cad, can, cap, cat . . . instead of caa, cab, cac, cad, cae, caf, cag, 
cah, cai . . . .  Good wordlists are much more sophisticated than just a 
dictionary . . .
