Okay, didn't know that.

But if I wish to just add these data as info fields? Here is a dump taken using pdftk dump_data:

Code:

InfoBegin
InfoKey: Creator
InfoValue: calibre (0.9.43) [http://calibre-ebook.com]
InfoBegin
InfoKey: Producer
InfoValue: Adobe PDF Library 9.0; modified using iText 5.0.3_SNAPSHOT (c) 1T3XT BVBA

InfoKey: Keywords

PdfID1: eeabd31eaf3c3095d7556aa2531f642b

I know that it's possible to add info fields using pdftk update_info. Maybe they won't be supported, but at least I'll know that the additional metadata is built into the file.

Is there a way to automatically extract the XML from the OPF file and add it to the PDF using pdftk update_info?

BTW, this is an awesome app!
