That would not be my definition of locked down. PDFs are read only by
design. This is not something you can turn on and off.

Depends. The ColorSpace fix script is perfectly capable of editing a PDF
file in its native form.

Which tools? I would not except something with the name Acrobat Reader to
be abot to write PDFs. Without actually seeing your document, I could not
be sure, but I suspect that there are OS/2 native tools that could have
done the editing.
