Package: pdftk Version: 1.44-7
Severity: Wishlist I got an pdf file that could not be opened with pdftk. pdftk /tmp/q.pdf data_dump Error: Failed to open PDF file: /tmp/q.pdf Done. Input errors, so no output created. Unfortunately, the file contains personal information, so I can not share it. The same pdf can be opened with evince and okular (without needing a password). Investigating the issue, I found this site: http://www.thbimage.com/pdf/pdftk_can_t_open_pdf_file_gnr2sr_5lv_1_news_motzarella_org_.html It describes the same problem, and my file contains also this sequence ".../StrF/StdCF/CF<</StdCF<</CFM/AESV2/AuthEvent/DocOpen/Length 16>>>>/StmF/StdCF/U" indicating an AES encryption. The error message is different than in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=454140 so it's a different bug. The workaround is, opening the file with okular and printing it to a new pdf file. However, it would be great if pdftk could also handle AES encrypted pdf files in seamless way.
