How can an encrypted Microsoft Bitlocker drive be opened? We got a drive containing PDF files on it, but the encryption prevents us from opening them. Any recommendations?
You have to first unlock the BitLocker-encrypted drive. However, BitLocker is compatible with Windows instead of macOS, therefore, it won’t provide a window to let you enter the password for the BitLocker drive on Mac. To do it, you will need a third-party BitLocker for Mac. Such a tool enables you to read and write to BitLocker drive on Mac.

You have to decrypt the BitLocker drive on Mac in the first step so that you can read the PDF files, what you need is a third-party BitLocker for Mac app. Besides, the BitLocker password/recovery key is required to open the BitLocker drive on Mac.
