This is the list for poppler, not podofo.
poppler's pdfinfo can read the file without a problem, and poppler-based tools 
and ghostscript can both read the file, so the error might be something wrong 
with podofo.
podofoinfo 0.9.1 on my Fedora 25 laptop gets the same error (even on the same 
line numbers).
I don't know if encrypting the pdf that way is legitimate, but if you are using 
podofopdfinfo or any other tool to scan PDFs and a given PDF crashes the tool, 
it is probably best to consider the PDF malicious.
The PDF that you sent is editable, and if you search for /URI, the links are 
not in ascii/iso/utf8. That could be a sign that they are malicious and someone 
wanted to make them harder to scan.

Subject: [poppler] Encrypted malicious PDFs fails

Hi,

I have a malicious PDF that fails to be detected properly apparently
because it's encrypted in some way:

# podofopdfinfo /var/tmp/Invoice\ -\ NF22394519.pdf
Error: An error 8 ocurred during uncompressing the pdf file.


PoDoFo encounter an error. Error: 8 ePdfError_InternalLogic
        Error Description: An internal error occurred.
        Callstack:
        #0 Error Source:
/builddir/build/BUILD/podofo-0.9.1/src/base/PdfParser.cpp:209
                Information: Unable to load objects from file.
        #1 Error Source:

                Information: CreateEncryptionInputStream does not yet

Would someone be interested in investigating this? Am I missing
something to properly detect and manage these?

Is there a legitimate reason to encrypt a PDF in this way? In other
words, I can still see the contents and click on the malicious link,
but apparently not view the meta information about it...
