[pdftex] pdfcrypt

[Thierry Bouche]

  Hi,

  I'm testing pdf crypt together with pdfpages: I'm making a PDF with
  pdflatex and a special class that loads hyperref, pdfpages and
  pdfcrypt.sty.

  I'm using

pdfeTeX (Web2c 7.3.7x) 3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211-2.1
kpathsea version 3.3.7

  Having pdfcrypt in the class file, I need to put the set option in
  order to have encryption (I thought it was early enough, but doesn't
  seem to be). Then my file makes a vector page, and includes with
  pdfpage all the pages from a bitmap PDF (which has hidden text
  objects). The resulting PDF has some unexpected garbage somewhere that
  prevent it from showing the first bitmap page (all other pages are
  correctly shown). Without encryption, everything goes fine. Did anyone
  experiment something similar, or could give me any hint how to solve
  this problem?
  

Thanks,
 Thierry
