Description Olivier Fourdan 2010-09-24 11:46:45 UTC
Created attachment 449398 [details]
Proposed patch to backport the support of recent PDF

Description of problem:

Some PDF files cannot be opened with Evince because poppler 0.5.4 fails to recognize the security used (even if no password is required).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

poppler-0.5.4

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the PDF attached with Evince on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
  
Actual results:

Error: Unsupported version/revision (4/4) of Standard security handler
Error: Incorrect password

Expected results:

Evince is able to open the PDF (without password being prompted).

Additional info:

This is fixed upstream as part of git commit bf7e0e98 but that's a huge commit which is the merge of xpdf302 branch in HEAD.

A less intrusive patch to backport just that functionality in poppler-0.5.4 is attached.
