As it's a PDF file I'd suggest the best way forward is to find someone with Photoshop or similar and try applying a few filters, either to the file in its native format or after converting it to a JPG. Things like "Haze Removal", "Noise Removal", "Shake Reduction" and "Unsharp Mask" might help to make the wording clearer although, if the original document was written on parchment, it might still be difficult to discern the words from the grainy background.
Ah OK, I'm not surprised about the password to edit the file. The password is there to prevent people from editing/tampering with what is a copy of an official document. This is important to ensure that the integrity of the document is maintained. But let's not mess around with finding the password to edit the file. Instead, I'd suggest taking screenshots of each page of the PDF file and save those as JPG's (or perhaps BMP's for better quality.) Now ask your brother to look at those pictures and see what he can do with Photoshop to reveal the lettering.

    • I've been using Homecert for all my electrical work at my flat in London for several years.  They have done small jobs like this one ( fitting a new security light to the patio) and big ones like fitting a new consumer unity, and also tricky ones like investigating and sorting out a problematic power circuit. They are extremely reliable and efficient and the work is always of a very high quality. Communications with the office are, in addition, excellent. Their work is economically reasonable and properly costed. I cannot see myself bothering with any other London electricians as long as Homecert exists
