Even though the security on PDF document says yes you can fill in the form and save that filled in document? Kind of blows your statements out doesn't it? But thanks for answering the question. I guess I'll just have to leave those lines commented.

If someone secures a PDF and gives you the PDF but not the password, this implies that that person simply does not want you to manipulate the PDF, and you are acting against his explicit will by manipulating it anyways. (Ok, admittedly, on the one hand there are people who secure documents without knowing what that means, and on the other hand iText understands secured documents in a quite black-and-white manner only, i.e. either all is allowed or nothing. But in principle, the above said still holds.)
