Re: pdf documents

If you know the error string that gets displayed, then using grep -r 
should point you to the relevant code.  Actually, it doesn't look as 
though my version of pdftotext enforces permissions (I have the version 
included with poppler, which is a fork of xpdf made into a library and 
used by evince and possibly other projects).  It will enforce the 
permissions if ENFORCE_PERMISSIONS is defined at compile time, but it is 
not by default.
