I think this is a great program but I believe there may be a security bug which maybe could be rectified in the next release.
If you go into Tools - Output Profiles - Info there is a checkbox for "Use Information - Author" and if you uncheck this box and leave all the fields blank, you would expect that no author information would be saved. However, it is saved, and you can read who the author was when you open the PDF in, for example, Adobe Reader. This is probably of no consequence in 99.9% of cases, but if you are creating an encrypted PDF containing sensitive information and you don't want to disclose the author details, it is a bit disconcerting to find that they have been disclosed without your knowledge. The author details aren't even knowingly entered at the time you create the PDF: the program seems to pick them up automatically from the OS login details and inserts them into the PDF.
Other than that, a great program - Thanks!
Thank you for your suggestion. This point is now on our TODO so that we will think about that for a future release.
