[gs-devel] error opening pdf in gs

[j_chang at fastmail.fm]

Hi,
My apologies if I'm not addressing the right forum.

Would anyone be able to help me with using ghostscript to open a pdf
document; I get the error shown below.  The document is a version 1.6
pdf (Acrobat 7) that has owner and user password protection.  On windows
7, I use the following command to try to open the pdf:

D:\>"C:\Program Files\ghost\gs8.64\bin\gswin32.exe" "-IC:\Program
Files\ghost\gs8.64\lib;C:\Program Files\ghost\fonts" 
-sPDFPassword=myPasswordHere d:\myFilename.pdf

Ghostscript 8.64: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

(I am able to open other pdf documents succesfully in the same way,
though these are not password protected)

Thanks,
