Description
It is possible to add pdf-metadata to a PDF with PyPDF2:
...
Author = 'example'
Title = 'example'
Subject = 'example'
Creator = ''
Producer = ''
doc_print = {
'/Author': Author,
'/Title': Title,
'/Subject': Subject,
'/Creator': Creator,
'/Producer': Producer,
}
f = open(sys.argv[1], 'rb')
pdf = PdfFileReader(f)
output = PdfFileWriter()
output.addMetadata(doc_print)
#output.addMetadata(xmp_print)
output.appendPagesFromReader(pdf)
file = open(sys.argv[1] + ".new.pdf", "wb")
output.write(file)
file.close()
f.close()
The new metadata is then visible with PyPDF2 and Exiftool.
If I try to add xmp-metadata to a PDF no metadata is visible with PyPDF2 and Exiftool. What am I doing wrong?
...
xmp_print = {
'dc:creator': Author,
'dc:title': Title,
'dc:subject': Subject,
'dc:description': '',
'dc:identifier': xmpmm_instanceId,
'dc:publisher': '',
'dc:coverage': 'NL',

'dc:language': 'nl',
'dc:source': 'id',
