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?

The permissions of this document say that client applications should not copy 
the test of the document. KPDF could tell that the reason is that indeed, but 
KPDF is frozen solid and no more KDE 3 releases are planned, so it cannot be 
done. (And Okular - KPDF successor in KDE 4 - does that, anyway.)
However, you can disable the fact that KPDF respect the DRM bits of the 
document, just go in the preferences.
