I today browsed through the pdf version of old digit magz provided along with the digit cds and dvd to find out that some of them are password protected.
The following issues are password protected.

July 2002
December 2003
April 2004
May 2004

Anyone knows the password ?

It's all from the Now Archived 36 issues of Digit CD given along with June 2004 issue of Digit.

if its asking fopr passowrd try to leave it blan and enter or put something and then try to enter and then see and post here
There is no option for leaving it blank. The OK button is highlighted only when something is entered. And i've tried several passwords of random choice, nothing worked.

Browse to the Digit_pdf folder of this months dvd.try to open 200312.pdf, 200404.pdf and 200405.pdf. It asks for password.

Yeah I too had faced a similar problem when i tried to access some PDF's from Digit cd's using some other pdf reader can't remember whcich it was a long time back. So, what is happening here? Why do some PDF's ask for password in other readers than Adobe Reader and not all?

Good to see that ur problem has been solved :D

May be the reason is in the method of processing the PDF files by other s/w ?

They find something that was not mentioned while creating those s/w and the show Password message ?

Yeah but why is it only some files and not all. I am really curious to know why so.
