I discovered on Macs, you can unlock a "protected" PDF this way. Just open the PDF in Safari, File > Print > Save as PDF. It outputs a PDF that's identical, except it's unlocked (it doesn't get converted to a bunch of raster images).

    Pretty sure that works on all OSes.

    Pdf24 let's you just mass import pdfs and unlock them without destroying things like bookmarks and the text. I'm sure there's other similar options.
