Public bug reported:
pdftk has a feature to decrypt password-protected PDF files, but it
doesn't work. It complains that the password is incorrect when in fact
it is correct. The qpdf tool works correctly with the same file and same
password.
$ pdftk K-TOYOTA.pdf output K-TOYOTA-2.pdf user_pw <password>
Error: Failed to open PDF file:
K-TOYOTA.pdf
OWNER OR USER PASSWORD REQUIRED, but not given (or incorrect)
Errors encountered. No output created.
Done. Input errors, so no output created.
$ pdftk K-TOYOTA.pdf output K-TOYOTA-2.pdf owner_pw <password>
