Automatically enter PDF password & Change security settings

Post by Danp »

Hi All,

We receive lots of PDF files that all have the same password. Is it possible to add the known password to a action or global change to then change the security settings?

Thanks
Dan

Well, not in PitStop Server.
But you can use Switch Core Engine and a CLI tool like pdftk to add or remove a password.

Or maybe you can find another CLI tool to change the security settings.

You can use the following values do set PDFTK in your Switch workflow.
Just replace the PASSWORD with your password.
