Matt's thread was about the xml metadata not the metadata that goes into the
Info dictionary. Use something like this:
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("my original.pdf");
HashMap meta = reader.getInfo(); // the original metadata
PdfStamper stp = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream("my
modification.pdf"));
// change meta to suit your needs.
stp.setMoreInfo(meta); // check the javadoc! It's not a replacement.
stp.close();
