Oh - I did not check any 'password protected' documents,
simply one that was uneditable.
OTOH, I did go on a search for 'applications that are not
Acrobat viewer' that might ..
a) load a PDF
b) ignore the 'suggestions' re not copying, or
allow conversion to a much more generic format
such as HTML..
..there were quite a few hits, for example, for..
<http://www.google.com.au/search?q=disable+%22password+protected%22+pdf>

(..but since you brought it up..)
Why would you prefer API documentation in PDF format?
The *only* advantage I've ever seen to PDF is that it
'prints better'.
HTML prints *almost* as well, and provides much better utility
on-screen (where it should be left - to help the eco-system).
