In DataSnipper v6.1 or later, you can import and open password-protected PDFs directly in the Financial Statement Suite (FSS). When you import your current or prior year financial statement, FSS prompts you to enter the password, so you can open it in a single step.
Please note that the ability to open password-protected PDFs is only supported by DataSnipper v6.1 or later.
About the Financial Statement Suite

What the video covers
The video walks through starting a Tick & Tie project in FSS and importing password-protected financial statements by entering their passwords when prompted.
Step-by-step guide
To get started, open an Excel workbook and click the Financial Statement Suite icon on the DataSnipper ribbon.
The Financial Statement Suite opens in a new window.
Click Start a Tick & Tie Project.
Import your current and/or prior year financial statement.
If these documents are password-protected, FSS prompts you to enter their passwords.
Enter their respective passwords and click Submit.
You have successfully imported your documents into FSS and can start working on your Tick & Tie project.
You only need to provide the password once. Next time you import the same project, the password is removed from the PDF. If you want to protect the PDF with a password again, this must happen outside of FSS (for example, in Adobe).
