Is it possible to specify a password for opening a PDF file on the command line? 

For example, when specifying a URL: 

http://www.acme.com/files/test.pdf?psw=blaaa <http://www.acme.com/files/test.pdf?psw=blaaa> 

or something similar? 

If this is not possible for URLs, is it possible for Windows run commands - e.g. 

"F:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "test.pdf" /psw "blaaa" 

Thanks, 

Mark White
