Decrypt file (DECRYPT)
The command DECRYPT is used to decrypt files. The i-effect *CRYPT functions decrypt files by using a PKI infrastructure. The result of this process is a file that, as long as the corresponding key is present in the keystore, contains the original data. To use the functions, it is required that the private key, which corresponds to the public key used to encrypt, exists in the i-effect keystore. Licenses for the modules *BASE and *CRPT are required to use this command. To reach the encryption menu enter 12 and then menu item 5 "Decrypt File(s)" from i-effect's main menu. The command DECRYPT followed by F4 can also be entered directly from the i-effect menu.

Description of the parameters:
Input Path (FRMPATH) | Determine the path in the IFS files system in which the files to be decrypted are stored. | ||||
Input File(s) (FRMIFSFILE) | Determine the PDF documents which are to be read from FRMPATH and then be used. By entering the wildcards "*" and "?" any number of files corresponding to the desired search pattern can be controlled.
| ||||
The following formats are possible for generic names: | |||||
ABC* | All files having the characters ABC at the beginning will be used, e.g. ABC, ABCD, ABCTEST. | ||||
a* | All files whose name is in quotation marks and begins with a will be used, e.g. "a," "aB," and "aD." | ||||
All files having the suffix ".pdf" will be used. |
Output Path (TOPATH) | Determine the output path for the decrypted files. The file name corresponds to the original file name from the input path. The suffix "pk7", if present, will be removed. If files with the same name already exist in the target directory, then the name will be kept and an add-on (number) will be inserted. | ||||||
Rename File as (RENAME) | If it is desired that the encrypted files be renamed or given a new name or name
| ||||||
Name | A new name or name pattern can be entered here. The name pattern contains the wildcard "*" for the original file name IN FRONT OF the suffix and a second "*" for the suffix in the original file name.
