It has been possible to read encrypted PDF files on FreeBSD using ghostscript and gv or ghostview for quite some time now. It would be nice if apsfilter recognised PDF so that one could just print the junk rather than having to translate it first. (Note that due to the interesting american laws regarding encryption technology, the PDF decoding code isn't included in the stock gs release.
