Command line option to open a password protected file

Post by MikeHolik »

How do I open a password protected file from the command line when I know the password. That is I would like to "silently" open a password protected PDF from the command line and not be prompted for the password (which I already know). I have not been able to find the necessary parameters for passing in the password when I am opening a password protected file. Many thanks.

For now there are no such option. Will add into the next build.

We have already realized this feature, and it will be available in build 42 which should be released in 3-4 weeks if all goes as expected.
