Is there a way to un-encrypt and open attachments in an extension?

   Hi Doug,

   Yes, you'll need to access the abstracted local storage to get an unencrypted version of the file:

      AbstractTxn txn = <yourtransaction>;
       for(String attachKey : txn.getAttachmentKeys()) {
         String attachmentPath = txn.getAttachmentTag(attachKey);
         InputStream in = transaction.getBook().getLocalStorage().openFileForReading(attachmentPath);
         // read from the decrypted input stream here, but make sure to close it!
       }
   

   Hope this helps!
