Bug Description
After running either the command "pdftk in.pdf output out.pdf user_pw password" or the command "qpdf --encrypt password password 128 -- in.pdf out.pdf" to create an encrypted file "out.pdf" from an unencrypted file "in.pdf," when viewed with qpdfview, the encrypted file (after being opened with the password) displays much less crisply than the original, unencrypted file. I suspect this is an issue with the Poppler library. This bug occurs with qpdfview 0.4.13.99, using Poppler 0.18.4 for PDFs. (By comparison, "in.pdf" and "out.pdf" seem to display identically using apvlv, epdfview, evince, gv, mupdf, okular, or zathura.)

Hello Greg,
thanks for taking the time to report this! Is it possible to attach both files (or some samples prepared in the same way) to this bug report so that I can easily reproduce this? Also, if Okular renders it properly, a bug in Poppler is unlikely as Okular exercises the same rendering pipeline within Poppler as qpdfview does.
Best regards, Adam.
P.S.: Screenshots along with the sample files would be even more helpful.
