I am running an old Trinity system, installed around March 2017 over KDE4 installed from a late version of Debian Jessie, and I can choose whether I use Trinity versions or KDE4 versions of programs. I always use Okular to read pdf files. Looking at About KDE, under Help in Okular, shows KDE Platform Version 4.14.2. Looking at About Okular, shows Okular Version 0.20.2, Using KDE Development Platform 4.14.2. I saved your file from KMail to Documents/ before trying to open it in Okular, so the problem with Okular asking for a password for the file is not caused by trying to open it directly from KMail. I first saw this strange behaviour, where Okular asks for a password for one of my own files, that I never encrypted and never assigned a password for, just about a month or two ago. I have been using Okular in Trinity to read pdf files since around March 2017, exactly the same Okular, with no new installation or update, and no change to my Trinity platform, since the original installation around March 2017. The pdf files which Okular suddenly started asking for a password for, are pdf files that I sent to myself as email attachments to an email sent via Google GMail, as a convenient means of sending the files from one computer to another. I can read those pdf files by logging in to Google GMail and reading them IN GMAIL, but it seems that GMail started encrypting pdf files sent as attachments via GMail, some time around September last year. I never tried to look at the pdf files I sent via GMail last September, until a month or two ago, which was when I first saw the problem. pdf files sent as attachments via GMail before around September last year seem to be unencrypted, while pdf files sent as attachments via GMail from around September last year onwards, seem to be encrypted, and can only be read IN GMAIL.
