Removing password from pdf files

We frequently come across a lot of password-protected pdf's in our daily lives, be it our internet/credit-card bills. Problems come when we want to share these kind of files with others. We obviously don't want to share the password as well! There are a lot of (commercial!?) tools out there which claim to remove password from pdf files. However, we all know that ghostscript already provides an option of reading password-protected pdf files and then storing them back to hard-disk. So, wrote a wrapper-tool for myself in order to do this process for me. I've created a repo for this tool and is publicly available (for free, ofcourse!). If you want to use this tool, please download all the files from this repo: git://github.com/teju85/No-Pass.git.

Happy new year fellas!
