Well, I can confirm that kpdf will not open this document on my machine. I did 
not get asked for a password, but then I had a ton of other pdf documents 
open, so that probably interferes with some functions. 

I haven't tried to open it with any other programs yet, but it occurs to me 
that maybe you can open it in another pdf program (e.g., maybe pdftk or 
xpdf?), then save it under a different file name. I don't know if Firefox can 
do that. 

Did you take care to disable the DRM settings? That doesn't seem like it would 
ordinarily have anything to do with passwords, but it makes no sense that one 
program would open it but another wants a password.

P.S. Breaking news: As I was clicking to send this email, I got a notification 
that kpdf wanted permission to access my tdewallet ... which does sound very 
suspicious. Why would kpdf need access to the passwords in my wallet?
