split a password protected file
Can PDFSplit split up a password-protected file.? It seems that it cannot, but there is no error message.
P.S. I am using v. 2.x of PDFBox. I will upgrade soon.

Actually, that behavior works fine for me. --Bob

On the result files, yes. I've never thought about it. To fix this, we'd
need the user and the owner password (only one of the two is needed to
decrypt).

Does this mean that splitting a password protected PDF effectively disables password protection?

According to the usage, it should be able to (although it won't encrypt
when saving):
Usage: java -jar pdfbox-app-x.y.z.jar PDFSplit [options] <inputfile>
Options:
-password <password> : Password to decrypt document
-split <integer> : split after this many pages (default 1, if
startPage and endPage are unset)
-startPage <integer> : start page
-endPage <integer> : end page
-outputPrefix <prefix> : Filename prefix for split files
<inputfile> : The PDF document to use
In 3.0:
Usage: pdfbox pdfsplit [-hV] [-password[=<password>]] [-endPage=<endPage>]
-i=<infile> [-outputPrefix=<outputPrefix>]
[-split=<split>] [-startPage=<startPage>]
-endPage=<endPage> end page.
-h, --help Show this help message and exit.
-i, --input=<infile> the PDF file to split
-outputPrefix=<outputPrefix>
the filename prefix for split files.
-password[=<password>]
the password to decrypt the document.
-split=<split> split after this many pages (default 1, if
startPage
and endPage are unset).
-startPage=<startPage>
start page.
-V, --version Print version information and exit.
