Question

Does anyone know of a tool that can batch decrypt pdf files? I encrypted the files before I added two pages to the end of each file...... I first need to decrypt all of the files. I do have the user and owner passwords, however, it takes forever to open each file, change security preferences, and then save each file. I have over 1000 files to decrypt. I have tried the encrypt/decrypt tools from pdf everywhere....and it crashes and slows my computer way down. Does anyone know of a different tool or process? Any help would be great appreciated.
