Some PDFs are tagged as encrypted, even though they aren't encrypted, and will open without a password prompt in a GUI PDF reader. This change attempts to "decrypt" with a blank password, before prompting for a password. This opens these troublesome files without a password prompt and allows stapler automation tasks to run.

When I look at the original code, I dislike it very much, so I'd rather fix this weird while true construct which has no good way to cancel. If you'd be willing to look at it again, I'd be glad, but else I'll try to invest some time as soon as I can. Sorry for not waving it through, after not reacting for so long 🙈

Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a pull request though!! Sorry, I should have led with that. I'm a little tired right now.
