Answer 1

Post.jar is just an utility to upload files to Solr.
Solr uses Extract handler so you need to provide as url. e.g.

java -Durl=http://localhost:8983/solr/update/extract?literal.id=1 -Dtype=application/pdf -jar post.jar 1.pdf

For encrpted files check link
For Password Protected Files check link

Answer 2

There is obviously some encoding issue here.

I remember doing something like this a few months ago, and it is fairly easy if you can write your own piece of Java code. These are mostly simple to write, and they work like a charm!
