As there is a free scriptable app able to open PDF I don't use Preview when I face this kind of need.

Thanks for the tip about Skim.app.


Of course, it's a very bad idea to store a password in a script but I'm just showing how to enter it.


Yes, but it's to simplify life for an old Mac user in my family (the password-protected PDFs contain blood analysis results). 

Question: is there no way to target the UI element directly using the attribute AXIdentifier "_NS:9" (see in the screenshot)?
