http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301498 ------------------------------------------------------------ Please describe the problem: The following document opens fine with adobe acrobat but evince states that it is locked and requires a password: http://ucfv.ca/ar/200505/UCFVTimetable.pdf The link is from http://ucfv.ca/ar Note that GPDF does this as well; I've not tried XPDF yet - so I'm not sure if this is a "default" password with adobe or whether evince is sharing a bug with GPDF. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open http://ucfv.ca/ar/200505/UCFVTimetable.pdf with evince. 2. 3. Actual results: Evince asks for a password to open the document. Expected results: Evince should just open the document. Does this happen every time? Yes. ------------------------------------------------------------ A little more info; acrobat reader states "security method is password security" --- odd considering it opens without typing one, and that it is a public document. ------------------------------------------------------------ Here's my test w/ xpdf. It printed that stuff out, then asked me for a password, I hit [OK] and it wouldn't let me see the document. [clarkbw@rhbw bin]$ xpdf UCFVTimetable.pdf Error: Unsupported version/revision (4/4) of Standard security handler Error: Couldn't read xref table Acroread 5 couldn't open the document. It popped up an error about decrypting it. [clarkbw@rhbw bin]$ pdf2ps UCFVTimetable.pdf ****This file uses an unknown standard security handler revision: 4 Error: /undefined in pdf_check_user_password ------------------------------------------------------------ I'm using version 7 to read it. The site says version 6 is required - I couldn't read it with 5. ------------------------------------------------------------

(In reply to comment #2) > Link to another similar documents > http://formeradvent.temp.powweb.com/Proclamacion06_1_2.pdf > http://www.islenska.de./pdf/Islenska.de_Preiskrieg%20in%20Island.pdf I ran into this problem days ago, and it persists on latest version of Evince version (0.8.0). Some webpages say this problem has not been solved yet. Although the first document mentioned is not available now, one shared thing between the second document and mine is that: they both allow viewing without password, but some operations (e.g.: printing) are password-protected. Adobe Reader (for Linux and Windows) seems to handle these documents quite well, but Evince don't. So I guess if this bug is caused by incomplete implementation of pdf security management somewhere in poppler? Hope this helpful.
There weren't a lot of useable samples in this bug, but http://www.islenska.de./pdf/Islenska.de_Preiskrieg%20in%20Island.pdf and http://www.highpoint-tech.com/manuals/RR2300_UM_EN_1.0_031306.pdf both work with the Qt4 test tool. Please advise if this is still a problem

I wonder if these documents are protected by Adobe Lifecycle management. Acroread 8.1.2 asks to accept to connect to such a server, who knows if older versions sid just silently connect. Evince asks for a password for such documents.
Created attachment 39110 [details] testcase New test case of a file with password security that opens in acrobat and does not open in evince. Originally reported in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631144
Problem in document from #8 is that it uses AESV3 encryption that we do not support
This bug is 6 years old and still not fixed? Additional examples (I'm using Ubuntu 10.10/AMD64 with libpoppler 0.14.3/evince 2.32.0): http://www.jlmaudio.com/Baby%20Animal%20Mic%20Pre%20with%20JLM14%20&%20OPA2604.pdf http://www.jlmaudio.com/Baby%20Animal%20Mic%20Pre%20PCB%20Full%20Circuit.pdf
Seems to work with poppler 0.20
It still requires password and fails to open the attachment 39110 [details] with poppler-0.20.1-2.fc18.x86_64 and evince-3.5.4-2.fc18.x86_64.
Something is broken in the glib frontend, using qt4/tests/test-poppler-qt4 renders the like like a charm
Created attachment 65106 [details] [review] Patch fixing the issue. Indeed, currently the glib frontend passes a NULL pointer as password when creating the Doc, while the qt4 frontend passes an empty Goostring. So it seems that the file in the comment 8 actually needs an empty password, instead of not needing one... So, the patch attached makes the glib frontend to behave as the qt4 frontend and fixes the issue.
For evince one cannot enter an empty password. With the Comment 14 patch it really works, without asking for any password, thanks. It requires patched poppler-0.20. Patched popppler-0.18 still did not work ("Weird encryption info"). I found even with xpdf and poppler-0.18 it works, just one has to click empty password. But even with poppler-0.20 from Comment 14 xpdf asks for password and non-empty password does not work; this is not acceptable for users, is it a bug of xpdf or can it be fixed in poppler? This is xpdf regression against Adobe Acrobat Reader. 0.18 0.18+patch 0.20 0.20+patch evince FAIL FAIL FAIL PASS xpdf EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY PASS = opened without asking anything FAIL = cannot open (probably because one cannot enter empty password) EMPTY = opened but one has to click empty password; not acceptable for users
Jan, we do not develop xpdf nor xpdf uses poppler, so i don't really understand your question at all.
Created attachment 65121 [details] [review] My take on fixing the bug Jose, i'd prefer to commit this patch since this way we also fix the utils that have the same problem the glib frontend has (passing null null as passwords). What do you think?
(In reply to comment #16) > Jan, we do not develop xpdf nor xpdf uses poppler, so i don't really understand > your question at all. OK, true, sorry, I got confused by Fedora xpdf dependency on poppler-utils.
Albert, I agree that fixing it in core is bettter, so please go ahead. And thanks for asking.
Pushed.
