How to Find and Fix the Issue
Open the offending document in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader program of something similar.
Click the File button in the extreme upper left corner and then click Properties on the drop-down menu, as shown in the screen shot below.
The Document Properties window opens (screen shot below).
Click the Security tab and open the Document Security page.
The Security Method field should display No Security. It it displays something like Password Security, as in this example, that must be removed.
Similarly, the Document Restrictions Summary should show Allowed for all of the options. Removing the security restrictions should change any options that now read Not Allowed to Allowed.
