Hi all!
This Workaround is for all that are plaged by kpdf not able to open encrypted PDFs. - It decrypts PDFs with the infamouse empty password (that failes on libpoppler) - It asks for the password for encrypted PDFs and removes the encryption (if password is correct)
How to use: - Save the attached program to your ~/bin (or wherever you would like it to reside) - Change the file association for PDF to use this program - Open some encrypted/not-encrypted PDFs that did not work in plain kpdf.
Commandline: "/where/ever/you/put/it/decrypt-pdf" PDF.pdf ...
TDE specific file URLS like sftp:// don't work, but maybe "somebody" feels the need to add those.
--> KPDF can now handle all PDFs that it could not cope with.
Enjoy. Nik
