Errors with "Request refused" although all policies look fine. I've raised an issue -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

This isn't quite right. "-untrusted" is the original file renamed. The "trusted" version has the same name as the original, or the name you gave it. The test , if any, is that you chose to convert the image, so must have considered the source to be questionable in some way. The conversion is done in a disposableVM for the qube in which you are running the conversion. When you convert a PDF it produces a fully formed error free PDF. Because it is image based it is not text searchable, which may be why John says it isn't a "PDF per se", but a PDF it is. To some extent the ability to open files in dispVMs makes these utilities less important. It is possible, for example, to store such files in minimal templates with no viewers and always open them in offline dispVMs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

There is the ability to "create trusted pdfs" via an Disp Qube which transforms the pdf format to all pixels then it puts a larger copy back in your original App Qube and changes the name to "foo-trusted.pdf" but its no longer a pdf per se I hope that helps ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
