cpdf -info No longer callable on encrypted PDFs?

[greggarson]

Seems in v2.3 these PDFs not respond with an error suggesting the PDF needs to be decrypted 'Failed to decrypt file: wrong password?' in v2.2 cpdf would at least report the encryption status and permissions of the file.

Not sure if this is a bug or a security update?

This is a bug and, as you say, a regression from v2.2.1.

There is a further, deeper, more unusual bug affecting -info, which I had hoped to fix before issuing v2.3.1, but I think I will now produce a new v2.3.1 with just your bug fixed, and leave the other one for a v2.3.2, since your bug is affecting a number of people.

Watch for new executables this week, or early next.

Thanks!

Workaround sorted. Please contact by email for a new executable, if you're not building from source.
