Signing PDFs

If you mean signing as in "adding a digital, cryptographic signature", you could use pyhanko () which provides everything state-of-the-art to do just that.

Digitally Sign PDFs?

I don't think Okular supports PKCS#11 out of the box, but if you're OK with CLI tooling, this might suit your needs: https://github.com/MatthiasValvekens/pyHanko (full disclosure: I wrote that tool, so assume I'm biased).

Introducing Certomancer: the Python X.509 testing framework
2 projects | /r/Python | 12 Apr 2021

Certomancer started out as a weekend-long hacking session because I wanted to put the test suite for pyHanko on more solid foundations. I more or less knew where I wanted to go: I started by crafting a configuration file describing a somewhat involved testing configuration, and then implemented features incrementally until the tool was capable of handling the sample config I initially put together. This is the result.
Password protect PDF's
1 project | /r/pdf | 26 Mar 2021

If you aren't afraid of some command-line tooling, you can use pyHanko: https://github.com/MatthiasValvekens/pyHanko/. It's mainly a signing tool, but the library behind it supports literally every encryption scheme in the PDF standard. The CLI is a bit more restricted, but it'll probably still do the job in this particular case.
