Ability of Power BI to Connect to a Password protected pdf,...., document and extract data

[kabunyi]

Most sensitive documents like bank statements, mobile money statements, Credit card statements,....,etc normally come with an inbuilt password protection which the owner knows or possesses in case they want to access the data. Can power BI develop a feature that integrates the password in the in build Power query when extracting the data for analysis. This is not limited to only pdf but password protected documents at large. One may argue that you only need to disable the password but the challenge is the for security say banks inbuilds such passwords permanently and you cannot disable them.

Faz uns dias que abri um chamado com a Microsoft, na esperança que já existisse, mas infelizmente não existe (ainda essa opção).

Arquivos Excel e PDF protegidos por senha são uma realidade do mundo corporativo, e o Power Query já poderia ter a opção de inserção de senha, da mesma forma que inserimos como um parâmetro na consulta de uma API.

A comunidade agradecerá de pé quando essa opção for lançada.

A few days ago, I opened a support ticket with Microsoft hoping that this option already existed, but unfortunately it doesn't (yet).

Password-protected Excel and PDF files are a reality in the corporate world, and Power Query could already have the option of password insertion, just like we insert it as a parameter in an API query.

The community will be extremely grateful when this option is released
