Open and import password-protected PDFs

Feature Request

Password-protected PDF attachments now show a clear "password-protected" notice instead of locking the page up — but there's still no way to get at the contents.

Add a way to unlock these files: prompt for the password when previewing or importing, then store an unlocked copy so the document behaves like any other — preview, search, redact and export.

    This is live for attached PDFs. Enter the password on the file's tab, or in Tools › Attachments, and it unlocks so you can preview, search, redact and export it. RedactBox uses the password once and doesn't keep it. Details in Attached files RedactBox can't open.
