Hi and thanks for reporting the issue you found in Document Viewer!
Could you please tell me which version are you using?
In the version 2.0.193-beta (the one released for testing a few weeks ago), there's no error detection and/or recovery, so the app crashes when an exception is raised.
This has been already fixed, and a dialog is shown when something unexpected happens.
Anyway, we don't handle documents with password yet, so I can already confirm your report.
LibreOfficeKit doesn't seem to provide any explicit interface for loading documents protected by a password.
However, the library is under an heavy development and some part of the library is partially undocumented, so I need to check if my assumption is right.
Also, the error detection we have already implemented doesn't consider the scenario you described.
I suspect I'll have to split your report in two parts:
1) Add support for documents protected by a password
2) Properly detect when the loading failed because of the file being protected.
I'll be back again as soon as I have further informations.
Thank you again for taking the time to report this bug!
