Password falsely required to read document
SUMMARY I have a PDF where a password is used to protect against editing. But the password is not needed for display only. This file cannot be opened in okular - which uses poppler - on my system.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- Open https://www.bgfg.de/fileadmin/bgfg/Geschaeftsberichte/Geschaeftsbericht_2018_BGFG_Jahrbuchteil_END-Doppelseiten-WEB.pdf in okular
- Click "cancel" when asked for password
OBSERVED RESULT
Error is shown that the file cannot be opened
EXPECTED RESULT
The file should be displayed and there should be no password prompt.
