Passwords are not much protection for PDFs. There are "recovery tools" which will find the password for you, and if you already know the password many 3rd party PDF tools will produce a password-free version, see PDF & password. Based on the content, my guess is that putting password free copies on a KDX would be a problem in case the KDX is lost. The password is not much protection, but it is some protection.
