Hi All

I'm not able to open password protected pdf files. In my daily business I get from time to time password protected pdfs via email. It would be great if I'm able to open them on my mobile. Is there a way to open PW protected pdfs?

Cheers Thargor

I just encountered this issue today. Most of my transcation reports are password protected. Hope native support is provided soon.

Hello, I've sumitted a patch to the office application for it to support encrypted PDF documents. Thanks to @VDVsx, it has been reviewd and accepted. It will be present in version 1.1.9 of the office application. I've tested it with PDF encrypted with 'pdftk' tool.

I would like to thank Jolla for having opened the sources of the office application. The code is well written and easily readable, so it was quite simple to wrap the unlock() function provided by poppler.

Great, Thanks a lot for the effort. Then I think I can close the question.

<3 FOSS community. Thanks a bunch Damine, a much desired functionality. Even yesterday I received an important pdf document with password and had to wait till I get home to open it. Waiting to get this update. :)

I was looking at Poppler and noticed that it's a year-old version. I couldn't find the source package so that I could try and update it. Do you know where the source is and how could I obtain it? Thanks.

Dear Thagor

The Android Adobe Reader App can do this, until somebody implements a feature into Sailfish or makes an App, thats your best way to do it.

Best Regards

will this open the password protected pdf from the email attachment directly?
