It depends on the FO processor - they usually support PIs that let you include PDF metadata; the docbook xsl stylesheets already know to write the correct PIs for FOP and XEP. (Maybe other processors, but I've tried
those two.)

How would I activate those PIs for use with FOP? I tried
fop.extensions and fop1.extensions w/o success. TIA!

Looking again at one of the docs we generate with fop, and while it has the PDF outline it doesn't have the title/author stuff set after all. Sorry to mislead you.

Apparently fop doesn't support doing that directly, according to <http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/faq.html#pdf-doc-properties >.

You either have to post-process your PDF file, or use a different processor. XEP has worked very well for me in the past, though produces larger files than fop.

Cheers,

Chris
