list by encrption level

Post by chicken »

Hello, I am a registered pro user, have created hundreds of pdf files all encrypted with pdf-xchange version 4. My (BIG) problem is that I encrypted some of the files with AES 128 and others with AES 256. The AES 256 files are not readable (even with a password, of course) by many collaborators because their pdf readers can't handle the AES 256 encryption level (can't open the files, even with the password). I now have to convert all AES 256 to AES 128 encryption. Is there any way to identify (sort or list) my pdf files so that I can see in the list the level of encryption thereby saving me days and nights of work opening each files individually and checking the level of encryption. thanks, jean

32- or 64-bits?

I'm asking because you can use Shell Extension to solve you problem, but not with the version you have now. I can send you updated version

sorry again ! 32 bits. If you have a solution with vista instead of windows 7, I can try it. It'a a question of identifying the files.

thanks, jean
