pdf-Recover server
Universe Software has released pdf-Recover Server Edition, an enterprise-level edition of the tool that removes the main PDF password fully automatically, leaving the user with a document that can be freely modified, copied, etc.. The Server Version, which can decrypt an unlimited number of PDF files in one batch previously encrypted at up to 128 bit AES, is priced at $350 and works with Adobe Reader.
The developer says "PDF documents are nearly always password-protected against alteration, addition, copying, printing and any other processing. This often presents serious drawbacks in work processes involving several companies -- such as agencies, publishing houses, printers -- as the document password has to be known for each and every PDF document."

Oh, and lest we forget "every bozo who seems to feel they should have free access to my copyrighted content."
