Hey!

This is great, I just saw your commit and tested it. I saw the API being
changed :

* $oPdf->properties is now a property, not a method anymore
* $oPdf->getMetaData() returns some xml rdf sequence

I tested it with quite some PDFs and it worked very well. I also
realized that the amount of information in the properties can vary, some
have a "Title", others don't.

Is there a difference in practice between the distilled information
through the properties property and the RDF data?

thank you!
