Feature Description

Allow decrypting an encrypted PDF with a blank password. Some PDFs can apparently be encrypted with a blank password.

Use Case

We have a supplier whose invoices are always encrypted, but with a blank password. They refuse to fix it.

We can open their invoices in most PDF readers without typing a password, but our finance system can't, so we need to remove the encryption every time.

Examples

No response

Additional Context

I can decrypt it fine with Stirling PDF 1.6.0 (the old version) by simply not typing any password, and then clicking decrypt. But BentoPDF requires me to type a password in the field, so it doesn't work for me.
