The form was created in LiveCycle Designer.  It has permissions on it so that Acrobat cannot edit it.  Adobe LiveCycle Designer was last installed with Acrobat X.   So either you had a version of Acrobat X or someone you worked with had a version of Acrobat X and created this form for you.  Adobe LiveCycle Designer is now part of AEM Server products.
