Summary0004141: PDF 1.5 exports default to Acrobat 3 low-level encryption (40bit) irrespective of what you do.
DescriptionWhen you export a file to pdf from v1.3.2 on linux and/or v1.3.3.2 on W2k,
having set the encryption level to 128bit, it ignores this during the eport
and always sets it to 40bit Acrobat 3. It never goes to 128 bit even though
you set it up in Scribus 'Preferences' & tell it so as you export to pdf.

It seems Scibus ignores the 'File Options Compatibility' selection
under the 'general' tab under 'Save as PDF' sub-window.
Steps To ReproduceCreate a .sla file in scribus
export it to pdf specifying 128 bit encryption
open the resutlant pdf file in acrobat 6 reader or higher
check out the doc properties in Acrobat Reader

Can be reproduced on both platforms - Linux and win2k
TagsNo tags attached.

 I can add a little further info to the bug report.
1. If, when in Save as PDF, you accept the default compatibility of PDF 1.4,
    the saved pdf file is 128bit encryption, Acrobat 5 or higher as you would
    expect.

2. If, howver, when in Save as PDF, you opt to nominate the compatability option
     of PDF 1.5

under these circumtances, its exports PDF as described earlier in bug report, ie Acrobat 3, 40-bit encryption is generated and NOT PDF 1.5 compliance.

Only PDF 1.5 is exporting incorrectly.

1334cvs shows this behaviour
