Good day everyone,
just to add to what has been said, to modify the PDF file to make it
readable by kpdf, see below…

So this lead me to a viable solution to automatically remove those pesky passwords:
- Place the attached programm in your path
- make it executeable
In /opt/trinity/share/applications/tde/kpdf.desktop, change the "Exec=" to
this:
Exec=decrypt-pdf %U; kpdf %U %i -caption "%c"
... Now when KPDF opens a file it will first be sanitized (if possible) and then kpdf
opens the unlocked file. Not as clean as I would like it to be, but good enough for me :)

Stefan Hi all!
I just found that KPDF is (again) asking for a password on
non-password-protected PDFs and fails to open the PDF if no
password is given. The PDF preview in konqueror is fine. I have
attached a PDF that triggers the behaviour on my system (KPDF
14.2.0~pre65-0debian13.0.0+3~a).
Could somebody please verify?
The file is encrypted, which would explain the password:
