Password protected invoices
A supplier recently started password protecting invoices with the account number as password. This has significantly slowed the workflow. It would be helpful if one could add a password to the supplier in order for you to process these invoices

Is this becoming more common? If you could share suppliers that are doing this that would help.

It would be great if there was a way Dext could process password protected documents by email if there was a way you could upload a log of passwords - would save a lot of time manually processing documents with passwords

In an effort to automate as much as possible I auto-forward as many invoices to Dext as I can.
However more and more of the invoices I receive are be password protected PDFs.
This means that these PDFs fail to be extracted and I need to manually save them as a PDF without a password and manually add them to Dext. This is not ideal.
Would it be possible to either assign a password to use to specific type of file (the passwords don't change) or create a list of passwords to try on password protected files.
pdftk is able to do this with the following command: pdftk /path/to/input.pdf input_pw <yourpassword> output out.pdf
