Some pdfs downloaded is password protected. #42
Description
I'm using fork branch fixgetpages from @motoyugota , it works most of the time, thank you very much, it helps me a lot.
I subscribe to a magazine but several issue of the magazine can't be combine to one pdf. The error is as follows.
.retrying after error: pdfcpu: please provide the correct password
Removing extra pages failed with pdfcpu: please provide the correct password
And the pages downloaded is all password protected. I can't see any patten, seems random, totally.
An example of the password protected pdf looks like this. And if I skip the password protected issues, other issues can be downloaded quite fine.

Someone mentioned it in another bug report:

And indeed, while this script is running, all the temporary .PDF (inside the issue/ folder) have a password (if i try to open one with evince : i can't).
They however have a "regular" size (= are not empty, ...), like several hundeds of kb.
The resulting / final PDF in the end is sadly empty (0 bytes).
My config file is just :
{
"username":"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"password":"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"chromepath":"/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable",
"fingerprint":"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
}
