The problem seems to be the producer (line 9). iText 2.1.7 inserts some strange control character instead of the original OpenOffice Text which I can't copy in texteditor. iText 5.1.0 does it right and I was wrong when I say also 5.1.0 PDFStamper produces a pdf file which will not be validated. It will... Can I manually manipulate the xml metadata in the target pdf and correct the producer line with iText 2.1.7?
