Package: evince Version: 0.4.0-5 Since Debian's xpdf is uncripped to not ask for stupid pdf passwords, users can get really confused when evince asks for passwords for the same documents, as you can see in the forwarded message below.
evince in Debian should have the same level of uncrippledness and freedom as xpdf. FWIW, the pdf in question is a *public registration form*, so it's absurd for it to have a password. It's possible that this is a password that evince asks for while adobe stuff does not, as in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3498 ----- Forwarded message ----- Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2007 20:21:00 -0500 (EST) To: joey hess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: hmmm... I'm trying to download a pdf from http://www.grads.vt.edu/forms/academics/ref_form.pdf. The file opens fine in xpdf, but I don't know how to print from that. When I ask it to print, I have to type in a command line --- maybe you can tell me how to do that? I can print from the pdf viewer of evince, but when I try to open that form with the pdf viewer, it asks me for a password. (I've opened lots of pdf files with evince and never been asked for a password before --- I suspect there's something wrong with their file.) Solve my problem --- please! :-) ----- End forwarded message ----- -- see shy jo
