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!
