(Tutorial) how to bulk remove password from pdf file

in #pdf • 6 years ago (edited)

  1. Install qpdf from software center or http://qpdf.sourceforge.net

  2. Open terminal in the folder where all your pdf files are located, type:

mkdir -p temp && for f in *.pdf ; do qpdf --password=REPLACE-YOUR-PASSWORD --decrypt "$f" "temp/$f"; done && mv temp/* . && rm -rf temp

Viola, now when you open those pdf files, no more annoying popups for password :)

Tested on Linux Mint XFCE
