Alexander Kriegisch commented on PDFBOX-3323:
---------------------------------------------
I do not quite understand your answer. The merged document has title and
subject etc., so obviously PdfBox can set them, there just is no parameter for
them in the merge utility. Maybe I was using the wrong technical term and what
I mean is not really called metadata. I just mean title, subject, author etc.,
the stuff you usually see when viewing the PDF's properties in any viewer.
> Cannot set destination meta data in PDFMergerUtility

> Key: PDFBOX-3323
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3323
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.8.9, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Alexander Kriegisch
> Labels: merge, metadata
>
> When merging multiple PDFs into one compound document via
> {{PDFMergerUtility}}, meta data like title, author, subject cannot be set but
> seem to be taken from one of the input documents. This is usually not the
> desired behaviour because as a user I have no direct influence on the meta
> data. As a user I would like to explicitly set or at least overwrite certain
> meta data for the destination document. Currently I can only set the
> destination stream or file name, but not the meta data.
