The "Document Information Dictionary" object should cover what I need.
I can put the metadata I have into subject and keyword fields. Excuse my ignorance but what is the best tool to do this?

The chapter 9.2.1 (PDF spec) "Document Information Dictionary" object (represented by PDFInfo.java) which takes the basic values such as creator, title, keywords, etc. And there are metadata streams (chapter 9.2.2). These have not yet been implemented and I can't tell offhand how much work it would be to implement them. I guess it depends what exactly you need to place in the PDF.
