Pratigue:
I can't answer any of the questions regarding the software you use, but I
would be willing to bet that the need for a password to open a PDF file
would be due to copyright laws and all of that. This is, mind you, just a
thought.
Stay sane.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to convert PDF to word or txt when the PDF has a
security password?
Hello.
I installed Sound Forge from Sony Creative software. I downloaded the
user's manual as a PDF. I can open the PDF just fine using Acrobat reader.
However all 300 pages or so of the manual are pasted in the PDF file as a
graphic so I can't the content using Adobe acrobat reader. Oh and when I
open the Pdf document in Acrobat reader it doesn't ask me for any password
or anything.
Now to read the Pdf I use PDF Converter Professional from Scan Soft. this
software converts the Pdf to MS word. It works like a charm for any such
Pdf document where the content is pasted as graphic in the Pdf file. the
problem is when I start the using Pdf converter professional, a window
pops up asking for a password and saying it's a secured PDF document. I'm
like, what the heck... why does a Pdf manual for a software have to be
like this. Anyway, I don't have any password for the manual. If I ignore
and just hit ok my PDF pro converter software seems to begin converting
the Pdf , takes like 10min for the 300 plus pages, opens up converted MS
Word document and hangs. I can't do anything with that word document.
Things hang, Jaws becomes unresponsive and my out is to alt- F4 everything
to have JAWS talk again.
this behavior is repeatable and consistent on 2 diff PCs both running Win7
and latest JFW13. Seems this password window at the beginning of the
conversion is the problem because I never have this problem on any other
PDF.
solution ideas?
