This bug is still not fixed in 12.04 Beta 2, because on top of the encryption the document also requires the reader to take the entered user-name and password and authenticate with the University website. If Authentication succeeds then the website passes back the unlock key which then decrypts the protected PDF. I actually think a small script gets executed in Adobe when the Unlock button is selected, but in Document Viewer nothing happens when the button is pressed.
Thanks for trying though and glad that progress is being made for Document Viewer, I use it for all of my other PDF's because it is so much faster and less of a memory hog. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732954 Title: PDF using DRM ProtectedPDF is unlock-able Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: evince University E-books use ProtectedPDF Vitrium( http://www.protectedpdf.com/ ) DRM to protect the E-books that they give out. Currently the e-book is unlock-able, I assume because it needs to access and authenticate with a web-server. The fields are a user name and password form with an unlock button. I currently have to use Adobe PDF to use these E-books. This is a feature request. I can provide further details in private.
