# wget "http://v3.espacenet.com/pdfdoc?DB=EPODOC&IDX=US6289364&F=128&QPN=US6289364&PGN=1" # evince pdfdoc\?DB\=EPODOC\&IDX\=US6289364\&F\=128\&QPN\=US6289364\&PGN\=1 on console I see: Error: Weird encryption info Error: Couldn't read xref table Window dialog opens: Password required Same error for xpdf, gpdf (I believe they share the same source). Works ok with acroread. Acroread claims: User Password: No Master Password: No Encryption Level: 40-bit RC4 (Acrobat 3.x, 4.x) I reconfirmed this bug with evince 0.1.9 and poppler 0.1.2. I am moving this bug from evince to poppler, see the discussion in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166443
The same happens with all PDF documents at http://andreas.schmidhauser.ch/apollo.html. They cannot be opened because the files are encrypted, but no password is requried.
I had a look at this. Appears that the problem is that there is no fileID value in the trailer. No idea how to handle that, since the PDF spec appears to require this value for the encryption algorithm.
I have experience this bug too! However the bug seems to be fixed in: xpdf version 3.01
The first page shows in kpdf and the poppler test tools for HEAD. Not sure what is going on with the rest of the document. Jaakko: can you tell us if you are still seeing the original problem?
Bugzilla Upgrade Mass Bug Change NEEDSINFO state was removed in Bugzilla 3.x, reopening any bugs previously listed as NEEDSINFO. - benjsc fd.o Wrangler
Checked with poppler 0.6.2, the original problem is gone. But if I download the first two pages # wget "http://v3.espacenet.com/pdfdoc?DB=EPODOC&IDX=US6289364&F=128&QPN=US6289364&PGN=1" # wget "http://v3.espacenet.com/pdfdoc?DB=EPODOC&IDX=US6289364&F=128&QPN=US6289364&PGN=2" they show fine in acroread 8.1.2, but not in evince 2.20.2. I think this is what comment #4 referred to. I would like to have this bug closed and open another one, but I do now know how the pdf feature of splitting a document into many files is called. Linearized pdf? PDF reference guide did not quickly shed any light on me on this.
