I am trying to open a PDF file in Python using PyPDF2 but I am getting an exception that the file has bot been decrypted. I am able to open the PDF manually Can you please suggest me ways in which I can decrypt the file programmatically without a password

    is the pdf password protected, or not? – ksbg Aug 07 '19 at 10:55

  • If the file is encrypted with a password that you don't know, it's safe enough to assume that you won't be able to decrypt it in a reasonable amount of time, unless you've found a flaw in the encryption mechanism or have a supercomputer to brute-force the password. – ForceBru Aug 07 '19 at 10:58
