I was also in search of this couple of weeks ago and one of my friend suggest me an application named A-PDF Restrictions Remover, it worked for me. It has very easy to use interface. Here is what you need to do:

First install the application on your system.
Now right click the the secure file that you wanna use and select Remove Restrictions and Save as from the right click context menu.
It will ask you for the confirmation, click on yes.
Thats it..

I don't know about which software can help you for this Ubuntu but you can make it manually, without any third party application. To do this, Boot up your Ubuntu system and open the secured PDF file in standard document viewer. Now go to the menu and click on File than click Print. Now select the file you wanna print and make sure that you have selected PDF in 'Output Format'. Now click on print and you are done.
