I have an example document, which I can open with Adobe Reader X but not
in Evince. As said in the bug description, it has no password for
reading the document, but security for editing it, yet evince asks for a
password to open it. When trying to open, I get this error

[code]
Syntax Error (96):Illegal character '{'
Syntax Error: Invalid encryption key length
Command Line Error: Incorrect password
[/code]

I've attached a screenshot of the security properties of the pdf.

If anyone wants the pdf, just email me at alzho...@hotmail.com.

Title:
  documents with a modify password, but no read password, cannot be read

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  If the document in question is read-only by way of having a password
  for modify and no password for read (as are common on the net these
  days) cannot be opened in evince, while windows has no issues reading
  them.

  I'm guessing that the issue is that there is no way to enter a null
  password into the password prompt...  especially since pdfcrack finds
  the password ('') in nothing flat.

  can we please fix that?

  thanks,
  lamont
