I recently started playing with the PoDoFo library for an app I'm 
making, and I'm having some issues. I can't find any examples for 
getting metadata from a pdf file, and I'm not talking about the basic 
metadata like Title and Author, I mean custom metadata.

First let me say the pdf file I'm testing with I extracted it's info 
with pdftk, and it has a whole lot of metadata.

The pdf file I'm testing with I've been trying to use PdfMemDocument's 
GetMetadata method, but the PdfObject returned is NULL, I'm assuming 
this is just an issue with the way the metadata was added to the file 
right? So then I'm trying to find another way to get the metadata, but I 
just can't find any examples, I can find examples for adding metadata, 
but not getting it.

Another thing I tried is PdfMemDocument's GetCatalog, the PdfObject 
return by that is not NULL, but if I use it's HasStream method it 
returns false. Would the catalog have all the metadata in it?

Also, when looking through the few examples I can find online I see a 
lot of things that don't seem to be in the API, for instance 
PdfDictionary is not a class in the API, I'm assuming it's a PdfVariant 
type right? Then I see that the PdfDictionary type has methods GetKey 
AddKey and HasKey, but once again they are nowhere to be found in the API.

Does anyone have links to good examples for getting metadata?
