Yes, we can add such metadata to a PDF. But you need to understand,
that writePDFfile is just a simple helper to construct very basic,
single page documents. And all additional keyword parameters, which
are passed to writePDFfile, will be used as parameters for the page.
However, you want to set document properties, more precisely some
properties, which are features of the pdfwriter. Here it comes how you
can do that:
from pyx import *
c = canvas.canvas()
c.text(0, 0, "Hello, world!")
c.stroke(path.line(0, 0, 2, 0))
p = document.page(c) # page properties could be set here (like a
paperformat)
d = document.document([p]) # document properties could be set here
d.writePDFfile("hello", title="Hello, world!") # special properties
depending on the writer can be set here
HTH,
André
