Pdf files asking for passwords!!

I don’t know if this is some other new apple update/creation or if this is gmails doing but all my pdf files are now locked with a password. I work a job where our hours are put in manually on physical time cards. They’re sending the time card pdf files to everyone’s email and I need to be able to fill it out online, pdf it, and send it back to accounting. I have NEVER created a password for pdf files. And I asked my boss they didn’t lock the files or encrypt them, we all should be able to open them.

Well respectfully. I work in the film industry. Accounting would never put a password on a pdf file that over 100-200+ crew members on all levels need to access. Plus it’s not common practice and if there was a password my department head (my boss) would have had it already. They wouldn’t make producers and directors etc need a password. But even with that aside, I used the same pdf file attachment to do my time card last Friday and no password. I click the same one today and password. My boss just emailed me two new attachments to try and both of them are still saying password required. And we aren’t all having this problem so the password definitely wasn’t set by anyone that I know of. But Thankyou for attempting to help.
