Comment:
Yes, same thing here: Breezy's evince ask for a password, Dapper's
evince doesn't ask for one. And in the later case, Dapper's evince say
in the properties of the document that there is no security for that
document.
I read that pdf document using Adobe Reader 7, and I get these security
options from the document's properties:
Security Method: Password Security
Document Open Password: No
Permissions Password: Yes
Printing: High Resolution
Changing the Document: Not Allowed
Content Copying or Extraction: Not Allowed
Commenting: Not Allowed
Form Field Fill-in or signing: Not Allowed
Content Accessbility Enabled: Allowed
Document Assembly: Not Allowed
Encryption Level: High (128-bit RC4)
So the pdf is password protected, but you are allowed to read it without
the need for a password. So Breezy's Evince is buggy (it shouldn't ask
for a password) and Dapper's Evince works correctly.
I don't think Dapper's Evince should say that there is no security of
that document (that's incorrect), but that's a minor and separate issue.
