Using wordlist mode,pdfrip_darwin -f $in wordlist rockyou.txt

cracking succeed, but not showing password text

If the crack is really successful, can a copy with the password removed be created in the same directory?

The PDF might have a blank user password, but a complex owner password. By default, it likely cracked the 'blank' user password. I do not think any parameters exist for targeting the owner password.

An idea is to enclose the password within two delimiters, like singleticks to clarify that we did indeed find a password
