Action Wizard For Encrypted Files

Question

Hi, I'm currently using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and want to run an action wizard on multiple files that I have previously password protected.  In order to run the action, I have to manually enter the password on each of the PDF files that I have selected in the batch, which all contain the same password.  Is there a way to avoid entering the password for each file in order to run the action wizard? This would be very time consuming since I want to change the settings for over a thousand files.

No. With the action wizard you can't bypass this.
