Do you have any errors on the console if you start KPDF from there? What happens if you try opening the document with 'gv'? Opening with kpdf from the console still doesn't give any messages on the console. When I tried with gv, I got the following errors on the console: rrs@geeKISSexy:/tmp/kde-rrs $ gv VISA\ PREFERRED\ INTERNATIONAL\ -\ GOLD.pdf **** Warning: File has a corrupted %%EOF marker, or garbage after %%EOF. **** This file requires a password for access. **** The file was produced by: **** >>>> WB<�a��q�rW�i�PZ�<<<< ERROR: /invalidfileaccess in pdf_process_Encrypt Operand stack: Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1124/1686(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:108/200(L)-- --dict:104/127(ro)(G)-- --dict:241/347(ro)(G)-- --dict:16/24(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: 2 Current file position is 2349 ESP Ghostscript 815.03: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 any change we get one of those pdf that fail with kpdf and work on xpdf? Hi Albert, That's my back account statement. It would be difficult for me to give it. :-( If you want me to try something and report back, please let me know. I'll be happy to do that to find the bug. Created attachment 20215 [details]
Password protected pdf file which KPDF fails to open
That file is not a pdf file, PDF files must end with %%EOF and this one ends with %%EO, once corrected the file works correctly Taken from Debian Bug Report http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=369994 On Friday 02 May 2008 00:53:10 Peder Chr.
