    PDF "plugin" Empty Password

    Hello,
    is there a way to put a Empty password to the PDF plugin?
    We have many PDF that are secured by an empty password.
    But the Zoom interface is not accepting an empty password.

    Regards

    Why use a password, if the password is blank? Why not just leave them unencrypted?

        Might be a simple fix.
        Can you send me one of these unprotected encrypted file to have a play with (or the download link).

          Moin Moin,
          PM with link has send to you.

          P.S.: "Total bytes scanned/Downloades(MB)" stops counting at 2048.00

          Thanks for support.

          Schluej.

            Thanks for the examples.
            I didn't find any trick to get these files indexed in their current state with the current software. The current software is expecting the password to be minimum of 1 character.

            But it is trivial to remove the security / encryption with Adobe Acrobat and re-save them. Took me about 5 seconds per document.

            How many of them do you have in total?

              Moin Moin,
              no problem.
              I removed the Password from about 200 files...
              But we get often files with this "protection", but thanks for trying.

              Regards
