Setting Document Information

The document information dictionary in a PDF file specifies various pieces of information about a PDF. These can be consulted in a PDF viewer (for instance, Acrobat).

Here is a summary of the commands for setting entries in the document information dictionary:

$\begin{framed} \noindent\begin{tabular}{ll} \textbf{Information} & \textbf{Exa... ... Mark as Untrapped & \texttt{cpdf -set-untrapped} \\ \end{tabular}\end{framed}$

(The details of the format for creation and modification dates can be found in Appendix . Using the date "now" uses the time and date at which the command is executed.)

For example, to set the title, the full command line would be
$\begin{framed} \small\verb!cpdf -set-title ''A Night in London'' in.pdf -o out.pdf! \end{framed}$
