This requires PDFTK to work, but give it the password as the first argument (in single quotes, remember how FIRST used '$' in last year's password!) then list all your encrypted PDF files. [Fixed link to pdftk console tool -JL]

#!/bin/bash

password=$1
shift

if [ ! -d decrypted ] ; then
  mkdir decrypted
fi

for afile in $*
do
  if [ -e decrypted/$afile ] ; then
    echo "decrypted/$afile already exists, skipping"
  else
    echo "Decrypting $afile with password '$password'"
    echo pdftk "$afile" input_pw \'$password\' output "decrypted/$afile"
    eval pdftk "$afile" input_pw \'$password\' output "decrypted/$afile"
  fi
done

Remember, you cannot test the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway if you don't put the data on tape in the first place.

If any of you had access to a Gibson this would be child's play. XD
