Please check EncryptionDetails properties, you can set the password protection while converting the supported documents to PDF using SaveAs API method.

You can use Aspose.PDF Cloud API to protect the PDF document. Please check the API Reference for details.

I am afraid currently Aspose.PDF Cloud does not support self hosting. We have already logged a ticket(PDFCLOUD-1654) for it. We have linked your post to the ticket and will notify you as soon as it is resolved.
