PDF Cracking Issues
#1
Hi, I am pretty new to hashcat so this is probably a noob mistake but.

I am unable to crack my PDF hash that I have gotten from the pdf2john.pl script It is a Version 1.7 PDF

When I go to crack it with a dictionary attack that is the only password in the wordlist it skips it.
I assume it is cause by the -O because when I dont use -O it doesnt skip it. However it never says it has found the correct password. 

The pdf is encryped with AES-128

The command I am using is:
Code:
hashcat64.exe -m 10700 -a 0 pdf.hash answer.dict -o output.txt -O

The password I am using is 17 Characters long
The password is also a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols
When I just paste the Password into Adobe Reader it opens no problem
