Bug#369994: kpdf cannot open password protected pdf files
Hello. I ran into exactly the same problem - seemingly. My monthly earning statements has started to come to me in an encrypted PDF file, and it looked to me as if kpdf sometimes refused to acknowledge the password. I found this bugreport, and realized I had the same problem as had the submitter - my earning statements are confidential, too. What I did next was to retrieve and compile the source codes for kdegraphics and xpdf for a pair of comparative gdb session. At which time I discovered that the password I was prompted for was that of kdewallet - kpdf is activating kdewallet before it is asking for the pdf password, and if kdewallet has not been activated earlier in the KDE session, it is asking for password. This explains why I sometimes succeeded in opening the files and sometimes not. First I felt a little stupid, but then I realized that this is actual a very easy observation mistake to make. You expect a prompt for a password, you get one, then you don't read the prompt text. Could it be that the submitter of this bug report has made the same observation mistake? If that is the case the bug could be closed. best regards -- Peder Chr.

Yes, bank statements are confidential. The other approach could be, you people asking me to try something (re-compiling, trying a patch) which could generate more information to figure out what really is the bug about. I think situations like these are also doable. It's just that they'd require more effort from everyone.

This issue is seen for the Bank Statements that I receive from Citibank (India) which are in password protected PDF format.

Just two weeks ago I received the only password protected pdf I've ever come across, and KPDF was able to open it just fine (once I entered the password).

Package: kpdf Version: 4:3.5.2-1+b2 Severity: important kpdf is not able to open password protected pdf files. I've checked the same with xpdf and it can open the password protected pdf files.
