Bug#514238: kpdf: cannot copy text from documents with encryption

[Arthur Marsh <arthur.marsh@internode.on.net>]

Package: kpdf
Version: 4:3.5.9-3
Severity: normal


With a pdf version 1.6 that reported security: encryption, I was unable 
to copy text from the document to the clipboard.

Is kpdf deliberately crippled, or is there a workaround?
