I think it's much easier than that, there should be no need to downgrade to a PDF, or have a special new SWORD application, if you have the decryption key in the .conf file: mkdir newfoo && osis2mod newfoo <(mod2osis foo) in a bash shell should be all it takes to create an unencrypted SWORD module newfoo from an already-installed encrypted foo. And that is as it should be... Encryption protects against use of information by people who do not have the decryption key, not against particular kinds of use (or abuse) by the person (or people) having the key. The above is true for the information in an SSH stream to a remote machine, and true for SWORD modules, too.
