PDF Meta Information Commands

The following command line arguments to Image to PDF all set some aspect of meta information which can be stored within a PDF document. These items of information are usually available/displayable through the PDF viewer:

Important Note: You should always use -Producer - see below for details.

  -Author
Parameters: name - specifies the name (maximum of 256 characters) of the person who created the PDF document.
Notes: If spaces are required within the name then enclose it within quotes.


  -Creator
Parameters: name - specifies the name (maximum of 256 characters) of the application that created the PDF, or, if the content of the PDF was converted from another form it would normally be the name of the application that created the original content.

Notes:
  • The name of the application that converted the document from its native format to PDF.
  • If spaces are required within the name then enclose it within quotes.
  • If this item is not set then some applications that can manipulate and re-write the PDF (such as Adobe Acrobat) may not be able to save the file. We recommend that you always set the producer information.
  • Also, if this item is not set then it would appear that in some versions of Adobe Reader the document information dialog does not display the document dimensions, encoding etc.
