* add a pdf frontpage or an addendum (or both) to your pdf documents.
* decrypt pdf documents.
* extract attachments from your pdf documents.

Why two versions?
Basic version is very simple and stable. It’s completely free and it covers most of your needs.
Enhanced version is open source and has more features than the basic version. It’s “almost” free, you can download the source code, compile and use it or, if you think it’s worth it, you can make a donation.

Yes and no. Enhanced version has no fixed price.. The source code is available for download therefore you can compile it and use it.
