Hi,

I previously used a Perl PDF libray to manipulate the metadata in pdf
documents but I need something that is a little more stable across pdf
versions. So I'm turning to Java... (maybe iText, any thoughts?)

I'm going to create a webpage that employees within my co can access,
submit their pdf and the title/author metadata, alter the metadata in
the pdf on the server side, and then return it to the employee.

I don't need to worry about editing any of the contents of the pdf;
words, paragraphs, tables, images etc.. just the metadata.

Anyone got any suggestions or sample code stubs?

iText can do it.
