Is it possible to open the password protected file with pdf.js?

[tamillarasan]

Hi

Thanks for this great project.

I want to use pdf.js to open password protected files. I tried opening the password protected file and got the error saying "Incorrect password". I tried providing the password directly in the code by passing it as an argument to PDFDocModel setup(), still receiving the same error. Is there any way to provide password for opening the pdf file?

Or Is this feature currently supported by pdf.js?

@tamillarasan, I don't think we pass password stuff to the worker. That means, the worker can't open the PDF file :/ Can you hack it for the worker as well and see if that works then?

I'm using the pdf.js add-on with Firefox 12 (beta) on Ubuntu 11.10.

I can open password-protected files saved to my PC using Evince but not with the pdf.js add-on.
I see "an error occured while reading the PDF".

In "more information", I see "PDF.JS Build: 6833f64
Message: incorrect password

I can open simple files which are not password-protected without any problem.

Please note that I wasn't asked to enter the password even though part of the "more information" cites "Message: incorrect password" near the top.

Hi, devs.

Can you implement a nice error message first? Like, "PDF with password protection is not supported yet."
