I have run into several pdf documents that request a password with evince; but not with Adobe.
[rey@reylinux docs]$ rpm -qa |grep evince evince-0.6.0-13.el5 [rey@reylinux docs]$ evince Mir* Error: Unsupported version/revision (4/4) of Standard security handler Error: Incorrect password
Any workaround or do I just need to use adobe on WinXP?

Nobody should need to use windows.

except that they don't have an x86_64 version (unless it is fairly new) and I refuse to install i386 libraries to run acroread.

Well, I found someone who says they've gotten it working* - actually, I have it running - but they seem to think they're running a 64-bit version... but then, using strace, they find they start having to install i686 libraries, which I'm guessing are still 32-bit. Am I right, Johnny?

Slight digression, but I always forget to ask this:
Why are people so against installing 32-bit libraries? I've never understood this -- some people even opt for virtualization of a 32-bit release of their entire OS within which to run a few key 32-bit apps instead of just installing the 32-bit compatibility libraries.
What gives? Is there a technical argument against this?

I am against it because it adds clutter that I don't want ... also, if I ever need to build anything on a machine with multi-lib it is very hard to control what the auto config/compile tools do.
Then there are sometimes issues with the way RH does multi-lib ... the sharing of config and doc files. This sometimes causes issues.
But, the overriding reason is, if I wanted to run i686 stuff, I would have installed the i686 distro :)

Thing is, when you hit the end of the road and have a 32bit compiled piece of software that you can't rebuild, you have to accept that you *do* want to run 32bit software, but would rather run 64bit when possible. In that reality, having only necessary 32bit libs installed doesn't really cause the world to implode.

Fail. The first page of results from your letmegooglethatforyou query does not contain any hits that appear relevant to Reynolds' question. OTOH it *does* contain a link to this here thread, leading to the usual "use Google to find a posting telling you to use Google" circularity.

Try xpdf. Some files that won't open with anything else will open with xpdf.
