PDF meta data for author and title

Do any of you know of a way to edit that title/author information manually?
You will need a PDF editor program to edit the document properties. I use CutePDF Pro, available here (for a free trial but not free software)
http://www.cutepdf.com/
Open the PDF file, click on File - Document Properties, and there are fields there for Title, Subject, Author, Keywords and other options settings, such as page layout and what to show when the file is opened.

I didn't want to splurge on the full Adobe product and like how simple CutePDF is to use. Price of $50 may be offputting to some though. Maybe someone else on this forum knows of a less expensive method?
