Change a PDF open password

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

This request demonstrates how to change a password for a PDF that is already encrypted.

The new_open_password form-data body parameter must be active and set to the password to be applied. To change the password on a password-protected document, fill in the current_open_password parameter.

Documents with a permissions password applied will require that the current_permissions_password parameter is active and set to the permissions password. Otherwise, the document will forbid any changes to encryption.
