Hi, Thanks for using Mayan EDMS! There is an initial API interface but it is not documented because it is still in early alpha state. One of the items in the to do list for the current development version is to get this API into a more usable beta version with which developers can start interfacing. Since Mayan is a Django project, which in turn is a collection of small apps, another way to add the functionality would be to create an app for the specific purpose you need. This has the advantage of keeping your code isolated from the rest of the project, but would require some knowledge of the models and internals structures, however this is what this mailing list is for too. So fork the code at github, do a 'django-admin startapp pdf_metadata' and start hacking away! :)
