cfpdf protect pdf permissions ignored

i have been trying protect pdf's have been creating new coldfusion 8 cfpdf tag.
step 1: create new pdf using cfpdf action="processddx" , ..
step 2: try , protect newly created pdf cfpdf action="protect" , only permission "allowprinting".
this works fine...
however - if run code again using "protected".pdf source document code still works though i'm assembling new pdf document don't have permission!
it breaks when gets line cfpdf action="protect" again (as doc password protected).

some code:
<cfsavecontent variable="myddx">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ddx xmlns=" http://ns.adobe.com/ddx/1.0/"
xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance"
xsi:schemalocation=" http://ns.adobe.com/ddx/1.0/ coldfusion_ddx.xsd">
<pdf result="output1">
<pdf source="doc1">
<header replaceexisting="true">
<right>
<styledtext><p color="##333333" font="arial" font-size="9pt">personal report valid users name here</p></styledtext>
</right>
</header>
<footer replaceexisting="true">
<left>
<styledtext>
<p color="##333333" font="arial" font-size="7pt">valid user until valid date</p>
</styledtext>
</left>
<right>
<styledtext>
<p color="##333333" font="arial" font-size="7pt">page <_pagenumber/> of <_lastpagenumber/></p>
</styledtext>
</right>
</footer>
</pdf>
</pdf>
</ddx>
</cfsavecontent>


<cfif isddx(myddx)>
<!--- setup mapping source pdf files --->
<cfset sinput = structnew() />
<cfset sinput.doc1 = "original.pdf" />
<!--- setup mapping result pdf files --->
<cfset soutput = structnew() />
<cfset soutput.output1 = "protected.pdf" />
<!--- use cfpdf tag process ddx document --->
<cfpdf action="processddx"
ddxfile="#myddx#"
inputfiles="#sinput#"
outputfiles="#soutput#"
name="result"/>
<cfpdf action="protect"
source="protected.pdf"
newownerpassword="sampl3pa55w0rd"
permissions="allowprinting">
<!--- display success / failure result of operation --->
<cfoutput>#result.output1#</cfoutput>
<cfdump var="#result#">
<cfelse>
<p>the sample.ddx file not valid ddx xml document.</p>
</cfif>

i not think pdf passwords , permissions work way thinking. owner password grants ability modify pdf permissions or passwords. believe looking user password, corresponds ddx's document open password.

livecycle documentation:
if openpassword element unspecified, document not password-protected @ user level , document can opened anyone.

your file not have user password. may why can copy without error.
