I should mention that the exceptions don't really tell if the files are password protected or not. For word, I catch an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, or java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException. I'm guessing that is not the expected behaviour.

Right now, I am just catching exceptions that get thrown, but I was wondering if there was another way of doing this.
