You may need to perform OCR on it, if you have a tool that can do that. This website may help:

from Adobe:

Permissions password
A permissions password (also known as a master password) requires a password to change permission settings. Using a permissions password, you can restrict printing, editing, and copying content in the PDF. Recipients don’t need a password to open the document in Reader or Acrobat. They do need a password to change the restrictions you've set.
