Reading a encrypted pdf with xpdf

Hi !
I have a pdf (a patent) which is protected against printing. I can read
it with acrobat reader on windows at school, but I can't read it neither
with xpdf nor gpdf, because both are asking me passwords. And
ghostscript, which seemed to work under windows, does not work on my
computer with freebsd.
Do someone know how I could read this document ?
I cannot really understand why they protect patents against printing by
the way.
Cheers,
Grégory
NB : xpdf -v
xpdf version 3.00

I read there was a patch for version 0.96 but it seems a bit too old ;)
