I'll try upgrading the program, as David suggests.
Nay, not good. I now have "pdftk 2.02", and it still can not open these PDFs. :-(
Otherwise... is there some other scriptable tool to decrypt pdfs generating decrypted copies?
I need some other tool... I have to decrypt hundreds of files, generating clear pdfs, or alternatively, call a viewer with the password given on the command line, somehow. My problem is that I get these pdfs on email, and all viewers are unable to remember the password, as they have different file names. It is a real nuisance to browse a hundred pdfs looking for something and having to type a difficult password for every single file :-( [...] I have a trick of sorts, though. I symlink the pdf I want to view to a name, and use evince to open it, and remember the password for the session. I close it, change the link to the next file, and again use evince... it works. But if I tell evince to save a copy, the copy is encrypted. And it is tedious, anyway, to click your way on a hundred files... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
