Simple CLI tool for decrypting PDF files.

Installation

Install this via pip (or your favourite package manager):

pipx install decryptpdf

Usage

> decryptpdf -h

 Usage: decryptpdf [OPTIONS] PATH

 Decrypts a PDF file.

 If PATH is a directory, recursively searches for PDF files. If PATH is a file and
 does not exist, checks if PATH with ".pdf" extension exists. If the file is not
 encrypted, skips it.
