A PDF can be created using two passwords: - a user password - an owner password If a user password was provided, the user will be prompted for a password. If no user password was provided, the user can view the PDF, but some functions may be restricted. For instance: you can encrypt a PDF using an owner password to prevent people from printing the document. Viewers usually check the permissions, but iText doesn't allow you to create a PdfReader object if there was an owner password and you don't provide that password. Hope this explains what's happening.
