So is there some "more secure" method of leveraging
the encryption?
For example, if I DO set a user-password, then
encrypt the document, is that "better"?
Thanks for the quick response!

It's the same. The problem is not the strength of the the key
or
algorithm but the case that you also provide the key to open the pdf
if
no user password is set.
