Hi,   Iam facing a problem where I need to modify the metadata (for instance, the "Keywords") of an existing PDF file without making any other modifications to this PDF file. I need to do this in Java.   I found the iText API very intuitive to set the meta data on a new PDF file. But I was

RE: [iText-questions] modifying metadata

Okay, I think I found it. Of course using PRStream wouldn't be any better than PdfStream because PRStream extends PdfStream and doesn't override toPdf(). PdfStream.toPdf() is implemented as always returning null. I didn't know why that should be, so I changed it. It was: public byte[] toPd

RE: [iText-questions] modifying metadata

One obvious problem is that this example was using PdfStream, which always returns null from toPdf. However, I had already been using PRStream before that with the same results. I am going back to PRStream in the debugging to which I have been forced to turn, due to the terrible problem of time z
