If you can open the pdf using iText without an owner password, then try using either the PdfWriter, PdfStamper or PdfCopy examples from the tutorial to copy the pdf and set permissions using this method... PdfWriter.setEncryption(byte[] userPassword, byte[] ownerPassword, int permissions, int encryptionType) then read the copy, using the owner password, and make another copy without setting permissions. Maybe that will straighten out the kink.
