I've never seen this problem before, could you provide one of those PDF files where the problem can be reproduced?
This bug seems to have been around for years.
Please find attached a file which is an example.
It is a PDF file and it contains purely the text
This is an example
It was created with 'groff' and the Postscript fed into ps2pdfwr as in ...
(echo .S 12 14 ; echo This is an example) |\
groff -mm -fT -t -e -U $* |\
ps2pdfwr -sPAPERSIZE=a4 \
-sOwnerPassword=PleaseFix\
-dEncryptionR=2 -dPermissions=-60 - - > a.pdf
The result PDF is protected from modification or copying. It is really
nothing special.
Adobe Acrobat can open it perfectly for reading and printing. It correctly does not ask for a password.
Evince demands a password. And even the password which is specified above does not work. The problem is not limited to evince. It also happens with okular but 'evince' is my PDF reader of choice. Maybe the underlying issue is poppler.
I tried to build 'evince' to look at things but hit a missing
glib-compile-schemas
so I gave up with that approach.
Thanks - Damian
