Subject: Re: Extracting the hash of a PDF document-Problem with pdf2john.pl

Thanks Solar!

I've used the command you indicated and it worked! But I am now facing
other issues indicated below.

I am using the *pdf2john.pl <http://pdf2john.pl>* version available
via "*1.9.0-jumbo-1
64-bit Windows binaries in 7z, 22 MB (signature) or zip, 63 MB (signature)*"
at https://www.openwall.com/john/

I have gotten this new error message:

C:\Strawberry>perl pdf2john.pl LitheUKT.pdf > hash
Can't locate File/RandomAccess.pm in @INC (you may need to install the
File::RandomAccess module) (@INC entries checked: C:\Strawberry/lib
C:/Strawberry/perl/site/lib C:/Strawberry/perl/vendor/lib
C:/Strawberry/perl/lib) at C:/Strawberry/perl/site/lib/ExifTool.pm line 21.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
C:/Strawberry/perl/site/lib/ExifTool.pm line 21.
Compilation failed in require at pdf2john.pl line 40.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at pdf2john.pl line 40.

I had just installed this version of Strawberry before starting the
hash-extraction process: "*5.40.0.1 MSI (196.4 MB)*" at
https://strawberryperl.com/

Afterwards, I installed ExifTool from "*ExifTool_install_13.03_64.exe
Windows Installer, 64 bit version*" at
https://oliverbetz.de/pages/Artikel/ExifTool-for-Windows

I will really appreciate if you could please let me know what's missing
now, because that file mentioned in the error message (RandomAccess.pm) is
certainly available within the "Exiftool" program files.

Kind regards,

Samuel.
