Some modern software that I run also checks the CPU serial number on install and uses that as part of the encoding so even with the password I cannot use the software on another machine.

Hmmm the password could be stored into the cache.xml file in the entry for the PDF file...
Code:
<text author="" sourceid="38" id="155" date="Wed, 29 Nov 2006 06:11:20 GMT" mime="application/pdf" path="Books/Biography of Nikola Tesla.pdf/Biography of Nikola Tesla.pdf" size="646758" title="Prodigal Genius">
<password>I Can't Believe I Bought a Password Protected PDF file</password>
