In version 6.17.96+ you can configure ED Loader to use passwords for processing encrypted files. The Passwords tab allows you to enter any known passwords for password-protected Adobe Acrobat PDF, office files (ex. PPT, PPTX, DOC, DOCX, XLS and XLSX files), Pkzip, Zipx and 7zip files. All passwords in the passwords section are case-sensitive. If the password for a file is Abc123, then Abc123 would need to be entered; abc123 will not unlock the file.
|
ED Loader passwords will temporarily decrypt the previously mentioned file types and extract both metadata and content from the protected documents.
|
|
Passwords are global.
You have one list of passwords for all LAW databases on that computer. If you are working in Case A, add passwords, and switch to Case B; then you will see the same password list in Case B. See Sharing the password list across multiple computers.

If you are imaging the encrypted files then you will need to enter the passwords again in your Tiff settings.

The encrypted files will remain encrypted when exported.
