BUG: Encrypted PDF with attachments - printing of unprotected attachments not available

Post by guebert »

Hallo!

Since today we get messages from on of our partners encrypted with "https://www.nospamproxy.de/de/". This server sends an "envelope" PDF which is encrypted and printing not allowed.

To open this message, I have to enter a password and then I can see the envelope and attachments.

The message (letter) itself is an attachment of this envelope. This letter is neither encrypted nor protected. But I can't print it with PDFX. It works fine with Adobe Reader DC.

Now it's getting strange: When saving the attachment to desktop and open it, I have two tabs of the same doc (opened as attachment first and now the separate file). NOW the attachement it available for printing, too!!!

It seems to be a bug in PDFX and I ask you to fix it.

Because of security reasons, I can't provide a sample PDF. The content is confidential (of course and therefore encrypted ;-)

Stefan,

the messages are confidential. May I ask you to fetch examples from the provider of the message-encryption-system ("https://www.nospamproxy.de/de/")?

Hello Michael,

Please make a non-confidential file that reproduces this problem - then we can advice further.

Cheers,
Alex

Alex,

this is a misunderstanding: I can't produce such a file, because we do not use that system. We just get such files from our business partner, who uses the mail encryption server

https://www.nospamproxy.de/en/product/n ... ncryption/

Could you please contact the software developer for nospamproxy to get samples?

Many thanks!

Hello Michael,

Maybe you can post a few print screens of the several steps you must go through before being able to see the protected content.
It is important that we can see the icons, buttons or windows, not the text or content of the message.
Just to have an idea about the application and/or files behind it.

1) The "envelope" is probably an encrypted mail ?

2) You have to introduce the password to open that mail, and then you can see the content of the mail with the PDF as attachment ?

3) You have to double click the PDF to open it (a single click just shows a 'preview') ?
If you do this, you probably see the PDF as a "temporary file" and you have to save this file somewhere to be able to print it?

Regards.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the file with the screenshots. I managed to create a sample file that reproduces the issue (attached) - and a colleague from the dev team I spoke with about this said he will try to fix it for V7 of the Editor.

Regards,
Stefan
