Clarinet Institute files

As I think I've mentioned here before, I've been arranging a lot of duets, originally for many different soprano-alto instrumental combinations, for my violist wife and I to play, especially while all of our playing outside our home is on hold because of COVID-19.

One great source is the group of DVDs of clarinet music compiled by the Clarinet Institute of Los Angeles. There are now 4 disks, and there is lots of duet material on them.

When I try to read the .pdfs into my OCR software to begin rearranging the duets for clarinet and viola, I get an error prompt telling me the file is encrypted and I need a password to read it. I don't think any of the music on those disks is protected by copyright. I can copy the individual files to other places on my hard drives and I can print them, both without a password. Does anyone, maybe someone connected with Clarinet Institute, know if this is some kind of protection placed on the files by CI? If so, why? or what the password is to allow full personal use?

Or could this be something to do with the .pfd format they use and not deliberate encryption?

FWIW, I get the same prompt when I try to read OMCDRL files into my OCR program.
