Stepping back from the technical "how to" discussion (in which I know I have
participated), there is a legal and ethical question that needs to be asked
before trying to defeat the protection on a file. Why was the pdf protected
in the first place? Defeating the password could put someone on shaky legal
and ethical ground.

Does the document require a password to allow editing? There's a PDF
password cracker that might help at http://www.elcomsoft.com/apdfpr.html.
It's shareware for 30 days with limitations.
