For evince one cannot enter an empty password. With the Comment 14 patch it
really works, without asking for any password, thanks. It requires patched
poppler-0.20. Patched popppler-0.18 still did not work ("Weird encryption
info").

I found even with xpdf and poppler-0.18 it works, just one has to click empty
password.  But even with poppler-0.20 from Comment 14 xpdf asks for password
and non-empty password does not work; this is not acceptable for users, is it a
bug of xpdf or can it be fixed in poppler? This is xpdf regression against
Adobe Acrobat Reader.

       0.18  0.18+patch 0.20  0.20+patch
evince FAIL  FAIL       FAIL  PASS
xpdf   EMPTY EMPTY      EMPTY EMPTY
PASS  = opened without asking anything
FAIL  = cannot open (probably because one cannot enter empty password)
EMPTY = opened but one has to click empty password; not acceptable for users
