Glad to see someone else has the same problem, maybe someone can at
least flag it confirmed so people will look at it???

FYI I've recently discovered that the same PDF files, when opened in
Preview on OSX, still open without a password, however, if you attempt
to save the file (via File > Save) it will THEN ask you for a password.
I believe the issue is that poppler is just misinterpreting the
permissions flags on PDF files, and sees a "do not save" flag as a "do
not even open" flag.

So...can we confirm this and start actually working on it yet?

In the mean time, I'm going to attempt to recompile Poppler without
password or DRM support (this is open source, it shouldn't have it
anyway) and see if maybe I can open these files then.
