PDF custom properties

PDF custom properties

[Alan Bowen]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 458 bytes --]

I should like to set the PDf properties so that the Document Info panel has
Editor ...
Title ...
Subtitle ...
Subject ...
Keyword ....

The problem is that currently
\setupinteraction[subtitle=text,] goes to Subject and that there are no
keys to get output labelled Subject or Editor.

I have experimented with \pdfbackendsetinfo{ key }{ Text } but, so far,
unsuccessfully.

If this is possible,any suggestions about how to do it will be most welcome.

Alan

Sorry, Alan, I’m afraid I don’t get your point.

  \setupinteraction
    [state=start,
     title=Title,
     author=Author,
     subtitle=Subject,
     keyword=Keyword]
  \starttext
  \null
  \stoptext

According to the PDF spec
(https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/PDF32000_2008.pdf#nameddest=G13.2348400),
there is no editor field in standard metadata (unless you mean creator
or producer).

Just in case it might help,

Pablo

Hi, Pablo—

My inquiry concerns the possibility of getting *custom* properties that I
could specify using \setupinteraction in a way that would output in the PDF
file (under Document Info or Document Properties) as:

Editor (not Author)                   editors names

Title                                         title of work
Subtitle (not Subject)                the subtitle of the work
Subject                                     the subject of the work
Keyword                                    keywords

See https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Interaction PDF Header and Custom
Properties.

Thanks for the PDF spec file. I will check it out for any hints about
non-standard metadata.

Alan

Hi Alan,

it seems that the key field cannot contain spaces. So it should read:

  \pdfbackendsetinfo{key}{ Text }

Otherwise, Acrobat Reader (both latest DC in Windows and version 9.5 in
Linux) cannot open the document.

And the information is displayed in the custom tab from document
properties, not in the description tab.

Here is an image of the dialog:

https://community.adobe.com/legacyfs/online/1160244_PDF%20Document%20Properties%20Example.JPG

Acrobat Reader version 9.5 doesn’t contain that tab and it cannot
display the field.

I hope it helps now,

Pablo

Many thanks, Pablo. That does indeed help. I now have the metadata that I
want. And, as I have discovered, I will need to get PDFPen Pro to access
more than just the Document info panel. Until then, I will rely on Acrobat
Reader to ensure that it is available.

Very best, Alan
