macOS [Request] Decrypt PDF using Apple Script

[grgsiocl]

Hi!

I am newbie to mac and using the HAZEL to monitor a folder in which all encrypted PDF documents are monitored. The passwords are same to all the PDF's.

I would like to know is there any apple script / shell script to decrypt the PDF's automatically and as of now i am doing it manually using the CISDEM PASSWORD REMOVER application.

Thanks for the help!

Personally, I always use PDFTk from the command line for this sort of thing:

...of course, you can use "do shell script..." to run it from AppleScript. There may be other ways using AppleScript, perhaps in conjunction with Adobe Acrobat, I'm not sure.
