What This Skill Does

Removes password protection from a PDF by uploading the file and its current password to the Cross-Service Solutions API, polling for job completion, and returning a download URL for the unlocked file.

Handles the full upload-poll-download cycle automatically, so the user gets a ready-to-use URL without managing API calls manually.

When to Use It

  • Unlocking a client-sent password-protected PDF for editing
  • Removing encryption from a PDF before merging it with other documents
  • Batch-processing archived PDFs with known passwords
  • Preparing locked PDFs for automated text extraction pipelines
  • Stripping password protection before uploading a PDF to a document management system

# remove-password-from-pdf

## Purpose
This skill removes password protection from a PDF by:
1) accepting a password-protected PDF from the user,
2) accepting the current password from the user,
3) uploading both to the Solutions API,
4) polling the job status until it is finished,
5) returning the download URL for the unlocked PDF.

## Credentials
The API requires an API key used as a Bearer token:
- `Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>`

How the user gets an API key:
- https://login.cross-service-solutions.com/register
- Or the user can provide an API key directly.

**Rule:** never echo or log the API key.

## API endpoints
Base URL:
- `https://api.xss-cross-service-solutions.com/solutions/solutions`

Create remove-password job:
- `POST /api/33`
- `multipart/form-data` parameters:
  - `file` (PDF-Datei) — required — PDF file
  - `password` (Password) — required — string (current password to unlock)

Get result by ID:
- `GET /api/<ID>`

When done, the response contains:
- `output.files[]` with `{ name, path }` where `path` is a downloadable URL.

## Inputs
### Required
- PDF file (binary)
- Current password (`password`, string)
- API key (string)

### Optional
- None

## Output
Return a structured result:
- `job_id` (number)
- `status` (string)
- `download_url` (string, when done)
- `file_name` (string, when available)

Example output:
```json
{
  "job_id": 654,
  "status": "done",
  "download_url": "https://.../unlocked.pdf",
  "file_name": "unlocked.pdf"
}
