You are an awesome maintainer and upstream. Thank you so much for
your perseverance and short turn-around times, which really make
gscan2pdf better for me every day. It's already an indispensable
tool in my workflow and this feature will now shave even more time
off my day. Thank you so much.

pdftk can do that:

  pdftk input.pdf output output.pdf encrypt_128bit user_pw s3cr3t

Cheers!

Bug#894764: Please prompt for password on import of encrypted file

[Jeff]

gscan2pdf uses pdfimages to extract the images. pdfimages supports
supplying a password, so this is doable.

Do you know of a command-line tool with which I can build a PDF with a
password, or at least add a password to an existing PDF? I'd want to
create a unit test, and I'd rather build the PDF on the fly rather than
storing the binary in the source.

Bug#894764: Please prompt for password on import of encrypted file

[martin f krafft]

Package: gscan2pdf
Version: 1.8.11-1
Severity: wishlist

If I --import a file with PDF encryption, it'd be nice if gscan2pdf
could prompt me for a password to unlock the file. Would this be
doable without too much trouble?

At this stage, on import, I get errors:

  1. "Error extracting text layer from PDF"
  2. "Error extracting images from PDF"

Thanks for your consideration!
