How can I create my PDF document from my read-only PDF? Using acrobat or Distiller. I saved the previous doc as Post Script

and ran it throught the distiller. But it still givers me a little blue box, read-only.

    If you created the file, then why not go back to the application you used and recreate it.

    If the pdf is password protected you cannot remove it by redistilling. You need the password to remove the password.

    Have you checked the security settings to be sure there is no security set? If you are trying to distill it to the same file, it could be it is opened in Acrobat and so you can not overwrite it or that the original file is read-only in the OS. Look at the file properties in that case. If you are trying to use a network drive, try sending it locally and then copying.
