Martin Hilpert commented on PDFBOX-823: --------------------------------------- Ha: the FoxIt Reader "Document Properties" window also has a butten "More...". If I click it, a new window "Properties of <file name>" shows up - it's tab "PDF" also shows the old/wrong title (set by Apache FOP PDF generation) , but the new creator set by PDFBOx ...!?!? So, there really seems to be multiple "PDF properties"? > DocumentInformation is not visible (with Acrobat Reader) > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-823 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-823 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Bug > Components: PDModel > Affects Versions: 1.3.0 > Environment: JDK 1.6.0_21, Windows XP 32 Bit > Reporter: Martin Hilpert > > I try to set PDF document inforamtion > (http://pdfbox.apache.org/userguide/metadata.html), but the final PDF doesn't > have my information set! E.g. > final PDDocumentInformation pddi = doc.getDocumentInformation(); > pddi.setAuthor("MeAndMyself"); > I debugged and ensured that after creation of PDF with APache FOP, this is > the last action on the PDF done. But when viewing with Acrobat Reader, only > the information that I set during FOP rendering is shown. > But then I noticed that when I view the PDF file with FoxIt Reader (4.0), > File > Properties show all the properties I set like Title, Author, Producer. > Viewing this exact same PDF file with Acrobat Reader (9.3.4), this properties > are not shown (and some other properties are shown I set during the first FOP > PDF Rendering to produce the PDF). > I wonder if there are multiple ways to store such information in a PDF? Why > is showing FoxItReader the properties I set afterwards with PDFBox, but Adobe > Reader ignores those Properties and show the properties set on the first PDF > generation? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
