Feature Update: Automated Inept PDF Decryptor

After a quick conversation with Epiphany I thought: why not??? A short but (at least for some) useful update:




It's based on the actual script release but adds the functionality to decrypt a selected directory.

Still, it has some minor restrictions:
  • it only recognize files with the extensions pdf or PDF (so no PdF or similar - should be solvable with regexes - but my Python Regex experience is limited)
  • the output directory has to be created first
  • it overwrites files in the output directories with the same name
  • if you want to decrypt only one file you still need 'the old version'
  • if a pdf doesn't decrypt the program will stop executing (hint: identify them and move them out of the input directory)
  • no real restriction but if you have a lot of files the window isn't responsive until it has finished. Don't panic
  • last but not least: Use only on your own risk (so if you burn your mouse (or cat) it's your responsibility)
