I'm trying to view a file but get the error "Cannot decrypt this file".
The file is encrypted using 128-bit RC4
The URL of the file is: http://medsafe.govt.nz/Consumers/cmi/l/losec.pdf
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi
I’m trying to use WpViewPDF in a Delphi 6 application to display a secure PDF file. I am getting the error “Cannot decrypt this file”.
The file I am trying to view is available at:
http://www.medsafe.govt.nz/Consumers/cmi/l/losec.pdf
The file is a secure PDF but the restrictions on the file should allow it to be viewed and printed. I have no problem viewing the file with other PDF viewer applications and they do not prompt for a password. The OnNeedPassword event doesn’t seem to be called in WPViewPDF anyway.
I have used a third-party tool to remove the restrictions from the PDF file and then it displays with WPViewPDF with no problems. This isn’t a solution to what I need to do though as I can’t use the tool to remove the restrictions as the files are downloaded directly to the application and displayed using WPViewPDF.
Can you please provide support for this issue?
Thank you.
Hi,
the problem does not appear to be the encryption. It is using 128bit RC4 which is supported and the default password - it is that WPViewPDF has a problem with the compressed XREF structure.
Due to the encryption I cannot check this PDF file more deeply to locate the problem.
