You need to remove the edit password. Had success using Passware Kit to remove password. From there convert the pdf to word and remove what you need.
I was already able to remove the edit password with
qpdf --decrypt
. Most of the PDF editors I used, changed the PDF too much (e.g. added margins/padding) which ruined the very specific layout needed for the patterns to work. There has to be no changes to the PDFs apart from removing the 'footer' text :/
