Alexander Kriegisch commented on PDFBOX-3323:
---------------------------------------------

Okay, I also did this and the document gets created successfully and Acrobat 
Reader shows the desired infos:

{code}
    logger.trace("Setting document info (title, author, subject) for merged 
PDF");
    PDDocumentInformation documentInformation = new PDDocumentInformation();
    documentInformation.setTitle(title);
    documentInformation.setCreator(creator);
    documentInformation.setSubject(subject);
    merger.setDestinationDocumentInformation(documentInformation);

    logger.trace("Setting XMP metadata (title, author, subject) for merged 
PDF");
    COSStream cosStream = new COSStream();
    try(
      InputStream stream = 
PdfBoxWrapper.class.getResourceAsStream("/my/resource/XMP_Metadata.xml");
      BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
      OutputStream xmpCosStream = cosStream.createOutputStream()
    ) {
      String xmpTemplate = reader.lines().collect(Collectors.joining("\n"))
        .replace("###title###", title)
        .replace("###creator###", creator)
        .replace("###subject###", subject);

      xmpCosStream.write(xmpTemplate.getBytes());
      PDMetadata newMetadata = new PDMetadata(cosStream);
      merger.setDestinationMetadata(newMetadata);
    }

    merger.mergeDocuments(MemoryUsageSetting.setupMainMemoryOnly());
{code}

Unfortunately, veraPDF validator says:

> Specification: ISO 19005-1:2005, Clause: 6.7.3, Test number: 1
> 
> If a document information dictionary does appear at a document, then all of 
> its entries that have analogous properties in predefined XMP schemas, shall 
> also be embedded in the file in XMP form with equivalent values.

> Failed


> Cannot set destination meta data in PDFMergerUtility

> When merging multiple PDFs into one compound document via 
> {{PDFMergerUtility}}, meta data like title, author, subject cannot be set but 
> seem to be taken from one of the input documents. This is usually not the 
> desired behaviour because as a user I have no direct influence on the meta 
> data. As a user I would like to explicitly set or at least overwrite certain 
> meta data for the destination document. Currently I can only set the 
> destination stream or file name, but not the meta data.
