Hi all,
I don't know if that's the right place for my question, but let me try:

I'running F20 with libreoffice-4.1.4.2-5.fc20.x86_64 including
libreoffice-pdfimport-4.1.4.2-5.fc20. Additionally I have some PDF file
with form entries (printable, but but not storable). I can open this PDF
file with acroread or evince without any password request and fill out
some form entries. The filled out file cannot be saved.

But if I try to import (open) this PDF file in libreoffice draw, some
password is requested.

PDF file properties:

pdfinfo Desktop/s.pdf

Anybody can explain this?
