<title>Document Info and Metadata</title>
<para>
A <acronym>PDF</acronym> document may include general information such as the document's
title, author, and creation and modification dates.
</para>
<para>
Historically this information is stored using special Info structure. This structure
is available for read and writing as an associative array using
<property>properties</property> public property of <classname>Zend_Pdf</classname> objects:
</para>
<programlisting language="php"><![CDATA[
$pdf = Zend_Pdf::load($pdfPath);
echo $pdf->properties['Title'] . "\n";
echo $pdf->properties['Author'] . "\n";
$pdf->properties['Title'] = 'New Title.';
$pdf->save($pdfPath);
]]></programlisting>
<para>
The following keys are defined by <acronym>PDF</acronym> v1.4 (Acrobat 5) standard:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Title</emphasis> - string, optional, the document's title.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Author</emphasis> - string, optional, the name of the person who
created the document.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Subject</emphasis> - string, optional, the subject of the document.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Keywords</emphasis> - string, optional, keywords associated with the
document.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Creator</emphasis> - string, optional, if the document was converted
to <acronym>PDF</acronym> from another format, the name of the application (for
example, Adobe FrameMaker®) that created the original document from which it was
converted.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Producer</emphasis> - string, optional, if the document was converted
to <acronym>PDF</acronym> from another format, the name of the application (for
example, Acrobat Distiller) that converted it to <acronym>PDF</acronym>..
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>CreationDate</emphasis> - string, optional, the date and time the
document was created, in the following form: "D:YYYYMMDDHHmmSSOHH'mm'", where:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>YYYY</emphasis> is the year.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>MM</emphasis> is the month.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>DD</emphasis> is the day (01–31).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>HH</emphasis> is the hour (00–23).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>mm</emphasis>is the minute (00–59).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>SS</emphasis> is the second (00–59).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>O</emphasis> is the relationship of local time to
Universal Time (UT), denoted by one of the characters +, −, or Z
(see below).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>HH</emphasis> followed by ' is the absolute value of the
offset from UT in hours (00–23).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>mm</emphasis> followed by ' is the absolute value of the
offset from UT in minutes (00–59).
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
The apostrophe character (') after HH and mm is part of the syntax. All fields
after the year are optional. (The prefix D:, although also optional, is strongly
recommended.) The default values for MM and DD are both 01; all other numerical
fields default to zero values. A plus sign (+) as the value of the O field
signifies that local time is later than UT, a minus sign (−) that local time is
earlier than UT, and the letter Z that local time is equal to UT. If no UT
information is specified, the relationship of the specified time to UT is
considered to be unknown. Whether or not the time zone is known, the rest of the
date should be specified in local time.
</para>
<para>
For example, December 23, 1998, at 7:52 PM, U.S. Pacific Standard Time, is
represented by the string "D:199812231952−08'00'".
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>ModDate</emphasis> - string, optional, the date and time the document
was most recently modified, in the same form as
<emphasis>CreationDate</emphasis>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Trapped</emphasis> - boolean, optional, indicates whether the document
has been modified to include trapping information.
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis><constant>TRUE</constant></emphasis> - The document has
been fully trapped; no further trapping is needed.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis><constant>FALSE</constant></emphasis> - The document has
not yet been trapped; any desired trapping must still be done.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis><constant>NULL</constant></emphasis> - Either it is
unknown whether the document has been trapped or it has been partly
but not yet fully trapped; some additional trapping may still be
needed.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>

</para>
<para>
Since <acronym>PDF</acronym> v 1.6 metadata can be stored in the special
<acronym>XML</acronym> document attached to the <acronym>PDF</acronym> (XMP - <ulink
url="http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/">Extensible Metadata Platform</ulink>).
</para>
<para>
This <acronym>XML</acronym> document can be retrieved and attached to the PDF with
<methodname>Zend_Pdf::getMetadata()</methodname> and
<methodname>Zend_Pdf::setMetadata($metadata)</methodname> methods:
</para>
<programlisting language="php"><![CDATA[
$pdf = Zend_Pdf::load($pdfPath);
$metadata = $pdf->getMetadata();
$metadataDOM = new DOMDocument();
$metadataDOM->loadXML($metadata);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($metadataDOM);
$pdfPreffixNamespaceURI = $xpath->query('/rdf:RDF/rdf:Description')
->item(0)
->lookupNamespaceURI('pdf');
$xpath->registerNamespace('pdf', $pdfPreffixNamespaceURI);
$titleNode = $xpath->query('/rdf:RDF/rdf:Description/pdf:Title')->item(0);
$title = $titleNode->nodeValue;
...
$titleNode->nodeValue = 'New title';
$pdf->setMetadata($metadataDOM->saveXML());
$pdf->save($pdfPath);
]]></programlisting>
<para>
Common document properties are duplicated in the Info structure and Metadata document (if
presented). It's user application responsibility now to keep them synchronized.
