PDF Unlock

Remove the open password from a password-protected PDF, given the correct password. Use when the user has an encrypted/password-protected PDF (e.g. a bank statement, e-Aadhaar, a bill) and wants a copy that opens without a password.

File contents

Request for this run: $ARGUMENTS

Run remove_password.py <path> <password> from this skill's folder (or with its full path). It writes <input>_unlocked.pdf next to the input file by default; pass -o <path> to change that.

If pypdf isn't installed, install it with pip install --user --break-system-packages pypdf (this environment's Python is externally managed) and retry.

Never write the PDF's contents, extracted text, or the password itself into this repo or into any committed file — the input and output files live wherever the user's PDF already lives, never here.
