Metadata¶

The PDF specification contain two types of metadata, the newer XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform, XML-based) and older DocumentInformation dictionary. The PDF 2.0 specification removes the DocumentInformation dictionary.

Currently, the following methods on fpdf.FPDF allow to set metadata information in the DocumentInformation dictionary:

• set_title()
• set_lang()
• set_subject()
• set_author()
• set_keywords()
• set_producer()
• set_creator()
• set_creation_date()
• set_xmp_metadata(), that requires you to craft the necessary XML string
