I have a password protected pdf file to open. I also have the password I should be able to use. There are two password related options in pdftotext, -upw for user password, and -opw for owner password. I suspect it is the latter that I need, but I am getting the same error when I try either. there are several errors actually including that the name token is too long. This leads me to think that the password should be enclose in something so the program does not think it is part of the file name. Still the syntax looks like something that is normally removed. Ideas at all? Thanks, Karen
