            Bug ID: 366447
           Summary: Encrypt pdf file with a password
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.25.80
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: PDF backend
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: codestruct at posteo.org

Situation: Documents are sent around via email which is not encrypted by
default, especially when communicating ad-hoc. Sometimes I receive an encrypted
PDF file (which is better than no encryption at all) and with okular it is
possible to decrypt it given the right password.

Wish 1: Make it possible for the user to encrypt a given PDF with a password
via GUI to make it easy to encrypt PDFs oneself. On the shell one would use
pdftk (see
unix.stackexchange.com/questions/187404/how-to-set-password-for-pdf-files).

Wish 2: An option to remove a password from a PDF file would also be nice (see
