Description idwsrqklej 2025-05-06 15:38:43 UTC 
SUMMARY
Okular has no support for password protected PDFs, at least the ones that I've tested. They open when with no issues in other softwares.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open a password protected PDF with okular.

OBSERVED RESULT
"Couldn't open the file: blablabla\file.pdf"

EXPECTED RESULT
okular should ask for the password.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11

Okular has support for password protected PDFs.

If you have one that does not work you will have to share it with us.

You say you are running Okular 25.04.0, is that right? Where did you install that from?
