Render Encrypted PDFs Without Requiring a User Password

[ZHIFA-CHIU]

Before you start - checklist

• I followed instructions in documentation written for my React-PDF version
• I have checked if this bug is not already reported
• I have checked if an issue is not listed in Known issues
• If I have a problem with PDF rendering, I checked if my PDF renders properly in PDF.js demo

Description

I have an encrypted PDF that doesn’t require users to enter a password to view it. It renders correctly in Chrome. However, when I try to render it using react-pdf, I encounter the error: PasswordException: No password given.

Is this behavior expected, or is there a way to bypass this issue?

README -> Ctrl+F -> "Password". There's a function that you can provide in place of the built-in one to handle entering passwords. The question is, how much sense does it have, because then you'd need to store PDF passwords on the front end... But that's another story.
