CFPRINT issue with protected PDF

Running CF 8 on Windows Server 2003.  Have a PDF ["version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)"] from an external source which has the following permissions (see table below).  There is an owner (but not user) password applied to the file and I do not know the password.  I can delete pages from it via <CFPDF action="deletepages"> and prepend another PDF to it via <CFPDF action="merge"> (without supplying the password, strangely enough).

Yet when I try to <CFPRINT> the original PDF, I receive:

Security or permissions error for the cfprint tag. 

Error: Password provided is either wrong or does not have AllowPrintHigh permission. 

I have tried printing with all the "Quality" values.

Even more bizarre is that I can print the original PDF using CF 9,0,0,241018 (the developer beta).

Does anyone know how to print this file using CF 8 without changing the file?  Thanks.
