It keeps coming back with an invalid pdf error. However, when I open the pdf (pdf is the .exe with everything before %PDF-1.4...) it comes up with the password prompt just fine. Any ideas? Thanks!

Search string format of hex code for "%PDF-X.X". X.X representing a version number such as 1.4 or 1.6. Then delete anything above the hex line that contains this, then save file as yourfile.pdf. This has worked for me on several occasions and should work for you. Another way to do this is to open the protected file up in a decent hex editor.
