Document is actually a PDDocument, so a more complete snippet would be:
for (File file : files) {
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(file.getAbsolutePath());
if (document.isEncrypted()) {
try {
document.decrypt("your password");
document.setAllSecurityToBeRemoved(true);
} catch (InvalidPasswordException e) {
System.err.println("Error: Document is encrypted with a
different password.");
System.exit(1);
}
else {
System.err.println("Error: Document is not encrypted.");
}
document.close();
}
