Feature Request: Open password protected PDF files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Just tried to open a password protected PDF file, and the pdf viewer just
crashed (Force Close error). It would be great if this supported protected
documents, or at the very least it shouldn't crash when attempting to open
one. Great program otherwise, though.

I also get the problem, the I read the source file pdfview2.c , I found the 
method parse_pdf_file ： 
 if (pdf_needs_password(pdf->xref)) {
        int authenticated = 0;
        authenticated = pdf_authenticate_password(pdf->xref, "");
        if (!authenticated) {
            /* TODO: ask for password */
            __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_ERROR, PDFVIEW_LOG_TAG, "failed to authenticate with empty password");
            return NULL;
        }
    } 
in the source , but I don'n know how to do

Hi Maciel n WangNin,

  If you have static pdf password, just put in this line 
"authenticated = pdf_authenticate_password(pdf->xref, 
"put-your-password-here");"
At least that was i'm doing :)

Best Regards,
Santo
