Need to disable auto lock on PDFs

Hi,

My friend gave me their old 2018 MacBook Air macOS Sonoma. Every PDF file I create automatically locks. I never set a password or was asked to set a password and neither my Touch ID nor my login password works. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.3
