Description Bartholomew 2011-09-21 14:26:38 UTC 
When exporting a file as pdf via "File" "Export as PDF", on the "security" tab one can set passwords for either "opening" and "rights". 

After chossing the "rights" button, one has to enter the password twice (verification). 
In the first line, umlauts such as ä,ö,ü are NOT accepted. 
In the second line they are accepted!

Umlauts should generally be accepted.

This is correct: the operator types with umlauts, repeats the same, and the passwords do not match.  If they matched, the password would be different from what the operator thought it was, which would result in data loss.

What makes you think so?  Passwords are not meant to be words!
