    Some metadata not in plain text
    • Gianni1962PcGianni1962Pc

      Hi all,

      some metadata in the PDF files created with PDFCreator are coded in some way instead being written in plain text.

      Example:

      /Title(\376\377\000T\000h\000i\000s\000 \000i\000s\000 \000d\000o\000c\000u\000m\000e\000n\000t\000 \000t\000i\000t\000l\000e)

      instead of:
      /Title(This is document title)

      These metadata are visible trough File properties in a PDF viewer.

      I have tested some PDF viewers and so far the only one that doesn't convert this code into text is PDF-XChange viewer.
      Adobe and FoxIt doesn't show this annoyance.
      Unfortunately PDF-XChange is my preferred reader.

      Is this annoyance addressable by the PDFCreator developers or I must submit it to PDF-XChange viewer developers?

      Thanks is advance!
      Gianni

      Problem is in Ghostscript - it generates wrong metadata for PDF. For ver1.3 it doesn't generates metadata because it was introduced into version 1.4.

      I did some testing with 0.9.9 PDF Creator allows you to change the PDF 

      PDF version 1.4 same problem, same problem PDF/A-1b version 1.4,  PDF / X version 1.3 and the problem is solved

       

      From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
       

      PDF/A is a file format for the long-term archiving of electronic documents. It is based on the PDF Reference Version 1.4 from Adobe Systems Inc. (implemented in Adobe Acrobat 5 and latest versions) and is defined by ISO 19005-1:2005, an ISO Standard that was published on October 1, 2005:

      • Document Management - Electronic document file format for long term preservation - Part 1: Use of PDF 1.4 (PDF/A-1)

      A new version of PDF/A based on PDF 1.7 - ISO 32000-1 is currently under development (ISO/DIS 19005-2).[1]

      PDF/A is in fact a subset of PDF, obtained by leaving out PDF features not suited to long-term archiving. This is similar to the definition of the PDF/X subset for the printing and graphic arts.

      PDF/X is formalized in ISO Standard 15929 and 15930
