The above PDF is encrypted.
I need to translate the document into other languages, and I cannot operate on the encrypted document.
There is no need to encrypt a public PDF, right?

Only the author (Adobe, in this case) knows, and they are not likely to share it with you.

Isn't this a public document? I can't figure out what information needs to be encrypted.

Yes, it is. The encryption is to prevent people from copying the file's contents or modifying it. I agree I don't see the need for it, though. Search the file's name and you'll find a non-encrypted version of it, I'm sure...

After I downloaded the above document, I used some tools to translate the full text, but the tool prompted me that this PDF is an encrypted document and requires password authorization to decrypt it.

Please remember that the PDF32000 file is derived from the ISO 32000-1 standard with different page headers. In the copyright notice you'll find: 

The technical material is identical between this version and the ISO Standard; the page and sections numbers are also preserved. Requests for permission to reproduce this document for any purpose should be arranged with ISO.

Thus, this file has been published with specific objectives (identical technical material on the same pages and in the same sections). To motivate people to keep it this way, permissions have been limited.

Also please consider the second sentence of the quote - I'd assume that translating the document into other languages is a way to reproduce the document, so before starting the translation you should contact ISO to ask for permission and for restrictions your translation will be subject to.
