Evince and Okular can bypass some of the low security measures so just 
open the PDF file with them and save a copy of the PDF. The resulting 
file should be freely editable.

Also, if the security of the file allows printing, you can use a PDF 
printer to get a "clean" copy (though not sure if this will preserve the 
file "editability").

If the original PDF uses strong encryption or a specific DRM set, you can 
be in a problem :-)
