First you need to know what the protection is (is it only protected to not-print the document or not-edit the document, or is the whole document encrypted ?).

After that you should use pdf2john.pl perl script from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/magnum...df2john.pl to extract the hashes from your document.

Example hashes and all pdf-related hash types can be found here : https://hashcat.net/wiki/example_hashes

You need python to run pdf2john.py, before launching hashcat against its output.
Considering your beginner skills I would go for online cracking such as https://www.google.com/search?q=online+pdf+hash+crack

actually it's pdf2john.pl, hence a perl script which you need perl for, not python.

Indeed. It also exists python here for the record.
