PDF Cracking Issues

[Technologyman00]

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

What's the complete output please?

            We are waiting for updated OpenCL drivers from Intel.
            You can use --force to override, but do not report related errors.
* Device #3: WARNING! Kernel exec timeout is not disabled.
            This may cause "CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES" or related errors.

Hashes: 2 digests; 1 unique digests, 1 unique salts
Bitmaps: 16 bits, 65536 entries, 0x0000ffff mask, 262144 bytes, 5/13 rotates
Rules: 1

Applicable optimizers:
* Zero-Byte
* Single-Hash
* Single-Salt

Password length minimum: 0
Password length maximum: 127

ATTENTION! Pure (unoptimized) OpenCL kernels selected.
This enables cracking passwords and salts > length 32 but for the price of drastical reduced performance.
If you want to switch to optimized OpenCL kernels, append -O to your commandline.

Your device driver installation is probably broken.

The wordlist or mask that you are using is too small.
This means that hashcat cannot use the full parallel power of your device(s).
Unless you supply more work, your cracking speed will drop.
For tips on supplying more work, see: https://hashcat.net/faq/morework

I have also tried this on john the ripper however it is much slower so the hash is not the issue.

It is not, I have done a fresh install of the Nvidia Drivers. And made sure that the SDKs are fully deleted.

If self-testing fails, then there is an issue and your drivers are either broken or incompatible with hashcat/that algorithm.
