Free.  The latest version is 2.0,  Here's a blurb from their website.

==============
NEW! Secure PDFs with 40-/128-bit encryption, allowing the highest level of
security for your PDF files. Settings include password to open, password to
change, disable printing, disable text/graphics copying, disable
commenting, disable text editing, disable page addition.
NEW! Add document information (e.g. title, author, subject, keywords) to
converted PDF files, resulting in faster and easier searching of PDF
documents.

binaries.

ini file approach which locks you in until you change the ini.
