If you're using Python, I'd do this with PyObjC. You can create a PDFDocument,
then set its attributes. Something like this (warning: typed in Mail, may
destroy your computer, etc.)
from Foundation import *
from Quartz import *
url = NSURL.fileURLWithPath_("/path/to/file.pdf")
pdfdoc = PDFDocument.alloc().initWithURL_(url)
assert pdfdoc, "failed to create document"
attrs = {}
attrs[PDFDocumentTitleAttribute] = "Some Title"
attrs[PDFDocumentAuthorAttribute] = "A. Author and B. Author"
pdfdoc.setDocumentAttributes_(attrs)
pdfdoc.writeToFile_("/tmp/mynewfile.pdf")
