I suspected so because I looked at Acrobat and played with the different options. It seems if I want anything other than "Print Allowed", I'll be required to put in the password. The options that I need are just "printing" and "document assembly" (which enabled insert documents). I want to give my users the ability to combine documents, but not modifying the contents. I noticed that once I enabled that option, user can delete pages within the document. Seems like Acrobat doesn't allow the option to insert the entire document only. I suppose that's okay, as long as I don't need to provide my users a password every time they want to combine documents. Of course if this is a feature that doesn't exist in Acrobat (so far I have no success finding otherwise), I will have no choice but to decrypt my documents.

You should first play a bit in Acrobat and then tell us what are the options that work for you. We will then tell you what to do in iText. It looks like you want iText to do more than what Acrobat will allow.
