Of course it is null. Haven't you read my remark?

This doesn't mean you will find the *title* in the trailer.
PDF is a little bit more complex than that.
You first have to ask the trailer where to find the info dictionary;
once you have this info dictionary, then you can fetch the title.
But why would you go into all that trouble, if getInfo() does
all this work for you?
Anyway, I am glad to see that iText is used in Belgium too;
sometimes I have the feeling that iText is used everywhere
except in my own country ;-)

Hi,
How to retrieve the pdf title?
You'd need something like this:
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("my.pdf");
Map info = reader.getInfo();
String title = info.get("Title");
I have try with this code:
private static void getTitle(AcroFields form, PdfStamper
stamper, PdfReader reader)
{
...
PdfDictionary dictionary = reader.getCatalog();
System.out.println(dictionary.get(PdfName.TITLE));
...
}
The value is null.
Note that the Catalog is not the same as the Information Dictionary.
You will find a reference to the Info Dictionary in the trailer, not
in the Root Dictionary (= Catalog).

Bruno
