Simple command line app for decrypting password-protected PDF files, if you know the password. Built using iText, which does all the hard work better than the other packages I tried.
Usage:
PdfDecryptor.exe <path-to-pdf-file>
Enter the correct password and it'll produce a .dec.pdf file in the same location as the input.
TODO:
- Enter an incorrect password and it'll throw an exception. It should display a message and take input for a new password attempt.
- Pressing backspace adds
\bto the password string instead of removing the most recently added character. - There may be problems with other keys e.g. Home/End/Cursors.
- It won't work if your PDF file's name doesn't end in
.pdf. - It probably throws an exception if your file is not a PDF file.
