Odds are, it's not encrypted but compressed. PDFs are allowed to be (g)zip or (de)flate compressed (others as well, but those are the two I know for sure). It's not really worth getting into all the messy details here, but let's just say that it's probably not worth trying to decompress the PDF out just so you can edit it with a text editor.
