Batch Process- Remove Master Password

[s0ccerdude]

I encrypted a large number (i.e. 1500) of pdf files with a "master" password in Adobe Acrobat 5.0. I now want to remove the security for each file (the password is the same for each file). Is there a way to do this using the batch processing feature? It appears that I will have to write some JavaScript code to create a sequence that will do this. There is no generic sequence among the options available in the Acrobat batch sequences.

Can someone help with this code or else provide alternative advice?

I figured out how to do this.
First, you must know what the master password is.
Once you know what the master password is, pull up the batch processing preferences (ctrl+k). Click on "batch processing" from the menu that is displayed. Change the security handler to "Acrobat Standard Security". Acrobat will now prompt for the master password before performing batch sequence.
