According to J. op den Brouw:
> using xpdf (pdfinfo actualy) with a pdf file I get:

> [msql@chaos xpdf]$ pdfinfo ~/Backup/320051.pdf
> Error: PDF file is encrypted and cannot be displayed
> Error: * Decryption support is currently not included in xpdf
> Error: * due to legal restrictions: the U.S.A. still has bogus
> Error: * export controls on cryptography software.
> Error: Couldn't read xref table
> [msql@chaos xpdf]$
>
> Is there a encryption patch somewhere?
> The PDF *is* legal; I can read it with Acroread.
