Jim,
Decrypting PDF documents outside of Adobe has some legal ramifications.
Since you have an agreement with this customer, the simple thing to do
is request that the PDF files they send to you is not encrypted.

Subject: read and split pdf doc on i5

I am assuming others are receiving pdf files that need to be processed
on iSeries.

Receiving a 1,000 page pdf file containing text and images. Each page
relates
to a single invoice. The index contains a unique code for each page that
I need to extract.
Each page needs to be split into a separate pdf file, with file name
related to that unique code.
Each file is password protected (and is labelled "customer key for
decrypting").
Inside file, is labelled PDF-1.4 (although I prob need to support later
versions)
Would like to split this file and move individual pdf files to their
proper directory in a 
batch process to execute when file downloaded via ftp. 
I have found java tools on Source-Forge that may work, but not familiar
with java, and have
never loaded a java tool to iSeries. Need to be able to call java tool
from RPGLE.
Found some unix tools, but they could not process encrypted file.
Many interactive products, but hoping not to go there (although this may
become
an interactive process for the once a week download  and split this
file).
