With iText I can use Java to open a pdf and write it. If the pdf has an owner password I can still open it but it can not be written.

Clearly the content is readable, it seems like at that point you could simply write the document to a new file. iText doesn't allow this, it throws a bad password exception. Is there a way around this?
