Open a working example in a text editor. Scroll until you see XML. That's XMP metadata.Open a non-working example in a text editor.Scroll until you see XML. You won't find any. In your initial question, you said that getting XMP metadata "didn't work" for the latter files.Now that you've shared your PDF, we know that your allegation was false. There is no XMP metadata in that file.And if there's no XMP metadata, then it's NORMALthat iText returns null. iText can't give you something that isn't there. Then where does the metadata you see in Adobe Reader come from? Well, that isn't XMP metadata, is it? That's the metadata stored in the Info dictionary!You can get the keys and values as a Map<String, String> in the info dictionary using the getInfo() method.See for instance http://itextpdf.com/examples/iia.php?id=216 where the metadata is changed in the manipulatePdf() method.This is something completely different from the XMP question you were asking: http://itextpdf.com/examples/iia.php?id=217 Based on this experience, may I ask you a favor? "It doesn't work" isn't a problem description that a software developer should give when asking a question on an internet forum. That's a problem description most commonly employed by standard users that do not care how software works.Try avoiding such language in the future and it will be more gratifying for people like me to answer your question. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
