PowerBuilder 22R3

 

Hi,

I have to add XMP MetaData to a PDF document generated by my PowerBuilder app (datawindow.object.DataWindow.Export.PDF...) . Can I do that with PowerBuilder PDF classes?

Thanks in advance,

Bernhard

Hi.

While saving a datawindow as pdf, you can set some properties (before save). Those are:

  • Subject (Export.PDF.NativePDF.Subject)
  • Author (Export.PDF.NativePDF.Author)
  • Keywords (Export.PDF.NativePDF.Keywords)

Generally, PDFDocument control supports to set also title and application. Take a look at the following link.

Properties - - Objects and Controls

If you need to set custom XMP Metadata, I don't believe this is currently supported. You should submit an enhancement request.

Andreas.

In my original answer, I stated: "PDFDocument control supports to set also author and application". I wanted to mention: title an application. Author is available when exporting from datawindow. But I guess you need custom xmp metadata...

I do remember that pdfforge was allowing to do that. There is a method called SetMetadataKey... Don't know if you can find it. It was part of older versions of PDFCreator...
