I never tried to get the producer info of a pdf file (I am running acroread for pdf files and I am not sure there is something like this). after reading your post, I tried installing evince and opening ldd3 chapter 1 pdf. and lo and behold. The producer is : Acrobat Distiller 4.05 for Sparc Solaris. Long live linux!
