Decryption of protected pdfs using pdf-lib

[arnoob16]

I have a password protected pdf file, which can be previewed easily by taking the password as input from the user, but I'm trying to achieve a decryption on the client side, such that, when the user has provided the password for the protected-pdf, I'm able to create a new, decrypted file with the contents of the original encrypted file.

Same here. Were you finally able to find a solution to this?

Use this fork https://github.com/cantoo-scribe/pdf-lib

Then do .load(new Uint8Array(blob.getBytes()), { updateMetadata: true, password: "" })
