Hi,

I am currently needing to open a series of PDF files online which have are encrypted so in turn need a password to be entered.

When opening the file it asks for ther password to be entered and opens fine. What I’m wondering is if anybody knows of a way to automate this process. Either automatically enter the passworld when prompted or a parameter that can be used when opening the file that will be used instead of prompting at all

or any other solution! 😃

Thanks in advance!!
