Decrypt PDF

POST https://api.pdfrest.com/decrypted-pdf

Remove encryption from a PDF. Encrypted PDFs cannot be decrypted without first providing the open password (and permissions password, if applied previously).

Required form-data body parameters:

• One of:
  • file - File to be uploaded and processed
  • id - Alphanumeric ID (UUID) of existing file on server to be processed
• current_open_password - Open password that was applied to the document. Decrypting the document will remove the open password.
• current_permissions_password - Required if the encrypted document is additionally protected by a permissions password.

Optional parameters:

• output - File name for output document (without extension)
