Hi Filippo,
Information about embedding metadata in fo output which goes to the PDF
is found here:
https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.3/metadata.html
The data can be changed by customizing this template found in fo/fop1.xsl:
<xsl:template name="fop1-document-information">

Greetings,
I document my software using DocBook5 in a Debian GNU/Linux box. When
the PDF
files are generated, the CreationDate field gets filled-up using a new
value at
each run. This is a problem in our Debian effort to have "reproducible
builds"
[0] with the "forensic science" idea that the same code should produce
the same
binaries bit-by-bit [1].
It seems that FOP is responsible for filling-in the CreationDate field.
Are you aware of a method to direct FOP in some manner to fill-in that
CreationDate with a constant value?
Thank you for your kind attention,
Sincerely,
Filippo
