I believe so....

You said the PDF files are forms which are "printable but not storable".  Well, if you were to import the PDF into libreoffice that would circumvent the intention of the author of the PDF.  You'd now be able to store the contents of the filled out form.

So, it is logical that there is a password protection on that sort of function.
