PDF Batch Decryptor

Super quick and dirty script to call "qpdf --decrypt" on all PDF files that pdfinfo deems encrypted.

Ensure you have the required dependencies installed:
- Python 3.x
- qpdf
- pdfinfo (usually part of the poppler-utils package)
Install the Python dependencies:
```
pip install fire tqdm send2trash
```
Run the script with the path to the directory containing PDF files:
```
python PDF_batch_decryptor.py /path/to/pdf/directory
```
The script will:
- Check each PDF file for encryption
- Ask if you want to decrypt each encrypted file
- Decrypt the files you choose to decrypt
- Move the original encrypted files to a trash directory
- Generate a JSON file with information about the processed PDFs

Note: Make sure you have the necessary permissions to read and write files in the specified directory.
