PDF Decrypt
===========
Removes password-protection from a PDF-document permanently.
Installation
------------
On Arch Linux simply do:
```bash
cd $(mktemp -d)
wget https://github.com/zvynar/pdf-decrypt/raw/master/PKGBUILD
makepkg
sudo pacman -U *.pkg.tar.xz
```
Dependencies:
- qpdf, a PDF-transformation-program (pdf-decrypt is actually just a small
wrapper of it).
- bash (what means: I use bash-features like extended `test` or `function`s)
The bash-file works out of the box, no installation needed. If you want to have
it integrated in your desktop-environment, you can use the desktop-file and
icons. Remember to change the path in the .desktop-file if you do not copy the
files as follows:
- `pdf-decrypt.bash` -> `/usr/bin/pdf-decrypt`
- `pdf-decrypt.desktop` -> `/usr/share/applications/pdf-decrypt.desktop`
- `pdf-decrypt.png` -> `/usr/share/pixmaps/pdf-decrypt.png`
Usage
-----
```bash
pdf-decrypt encrypted.pdf
```
The program will ask for a password and replace the encrypted PDF-file with an
unencrypted version preserving the content (including nodes and comments inside
the encrypted version).
