**How to break into an Adobe PDF which is locked (Mac OS X)**
1. Open in Preview.
2. Print > Save as PDF.
You're done.
In fact you could use an old version of acrobat or any third party 
app which doesn't support the 'feature'.
You can now do what you like with it. I often import into Illustrator 
to extract vector logos - it's usually the quickest way if you need a 
company's logo for some reason. If you request officially you often 
get sent some junk in Word, a week later.
