PDF with password protection

[Darrin Auxier]

I solved my own problem, but thought I would post the resolution since I 
didn't find anything in the archives about it.
(though I am still curious about the fact that my version of gpdf is 
listed as 0.110 but when I go to the gnome software map the highest 
version is 0.105)

I'm using gpdf.  It works opening "normal" PDF files, but when I try to 
open a password-protected PDF from my bank,
I get this error message :

"The PDF file is encrypted and requires a password.  This progam does 
not support password-protected files"

So I tried downloading the Linux version of acroread from adobe, but 
that one gives me errors opening any PDF (password or not) :
Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported, using "ISO8859-1".
Aborted

Finally, I read that gpdf is based on xpdf, so I tried installing Xpdf 
from http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html and it worked.
