Description

Does this library support parsing of an encrypted PDF file? An PasswordException is thrown with message 'no password is given', but I can't find anywhere how to supply the password.

I am using the CLI version.

Research direction

Start at the CLI entry point and trace how encrypted PDFs reach the PasswordException stating that no password is given. Determine whether the CLI has an existing password option or needs a defined way to provide one, then verify the expected behavior with an encrypted PDF.
