(Yes; those are recent changes.)

i.e. you enter both types of password in the same dialog.

Yes, it would be nice to add a sentence stating that fact. Otherwise,
the section about two levels of password might be confusing.

--- additional comments

Section 3.4 (Page Size): View->Best Fit doesn't resize the page to have
the same width and height as the display area, but resizes the page so
that it fits in the available area.

View->Full Screen: restoring the window size is also possible with the
F11 and Escape keys (after 0.122, but before GNOME 2.6).

Section 3.5 (Sidebar): I relabelled the Thumbnails sidebar "Pages"
because for many PDF-files gpdf can show only an overview of pages, and
not thumbnails of the page contents.

Section 3.7 (Printing): Maybe add a note that printing might be disabled
because the author of the file didn't allow it.

Printer: The printer "Create a PDF Document" is not supported by gpdf.

Settings->Configure: duplex printing can be enabled/disabled here if the
printer supports it.

Location: CUPS is missing. If the selected printer is a CUPS printer,
CUPS is the only entry in this drop-down list.

Location File: change "print file" to "PostScript file". gpdf can only
generate PostScript files when printing to a file.

Location Custom: not "print to a particular location", but "print using
a particular program" (e.g. lpr with extra command line arguments)

State/Type/Comment: the dialog is a stock dialog, I don't know what
these labels are for. As far as I can see, they are always empty. Hmm...

Thank you.
