1) Download pdf from http://www.antiquepatterns.dreamhosters.com/CarterRoyal6.pdf, for example.
2) Try to open it in evince or okular. It seems encrypted.
3) Run: pdfcrack CarterRoyal6.pdf , you get:
Error: Encryption not detected (is the document password protected?)

Pdfcrack was not either able to handle the encryption type used, or it did not provide other relevant information, e. g., if the pdf might be damaged.

    The document is no longer available but I suspect that if the document is/was supported the problem should be resolved in pdfcrack 0.13.

    Please try again and open a new ticket with the document attached if the problem persists.
