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:

How it ended up that way, I couldn't say. The "Producer:" line
suggests that this is not being done on your system, so if it didn't
start out encrypted, it's being tampered with in transit somewhere.
Doesn't look like a kpdf issue, anyway.
