How to Add the Decrypt PDF Context Menu Item?

Make sure you have downloaded pdftk.
Follow all the steps in the previous post, except name the action Decrypt and replace the cmd.exe arguments in step 4 with:

C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

/C C:\windows\system32\pdftk.exe "%1" input_pw PROMPT

output "%1.decrypted.pdf"

    Hello,

    The encryption example simply applies a user password to the selected PDF, so nobody can open it without the password. The decryption example removes all standard security upon success. Thanks a lot.
