It makes sense, and it is supported, but it's currently not possible due 
to a bug in Qt which, IIRC, is fixed for KDE 4.2. There's a bug in 
KDE's bugzilla about this.
I, for one, receive every month a password protected PDF file, which I 
like to archive without the password protection. So, I used to print 
the protected PDF to another PDF file. The result would be a 
non-protected file.
However, currently I can get this done only by installing cups-pdf and 
using it as a PDF printer.
