I'm trying to parse some basic details and a thumbnail from ~12,000 PDFs for my company, but a few hundred of them are copy protected. To make matters worse, I can't seem to trap the error it causes: whenever it happens PIL throws a "FATAL PDF disallows copying" message and dies. An automated way to snap a picture of the PDFs would be ideal, but I'd settle for a way to skip over them without crashing my program.
Any tips? Brett Bowman Bioinformatics Associate Cibus LLC
