Update PDF Title and Creation Date

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

I’m unable to update the PDF Title, Author, or Creation Date for a new PDF using Aspose PDF for .NET 20.12.0. I can set the DocumentInfo properties, and the Document.Info properties but after doing a Document.Save the resulting PDF file and Document.Info properties are blank.

What am I doing wrong?

thanks, Mike

We tested the scenario in our environment using following code snippet and were unable to notice any issue:

Document doc = new Document();
doc.Pages.Add();
DocumentInfo Info = new DocumentInfo(doc);
Info.Author = "";
Info.Keywords = "";
Info.ModDate = DateTime.Now;
Info.Subject = "";
Info.Title = "Aspose Pty Ltd";
Info.CreationDate = DateTime.Now;
doc.Save(dataDir + "info.pdf");

Please try to use above code snippet and let us know if you still face any issue.

Ran the code snippet above (using PowerShell / .NET on Server 2016). Author and Title did not populate.

Blockquote
#Load Aspose PDF for .NET DLL
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom(“E:\Program Files (x86)\Aspose\Aspose.Pdf for .NET\Bin\net4.0\Aspose.PDF.dll”)

#Load Aspose License File
$License = New-Object Aspose.PDF.License
$License.SetLicense(“E:\Scripts\Aspose\Aspose.Pdf.lic”)

$MyDoc = New-Object Aspose.PDF.Document
$MyDoc.Pages.Add()

#Set PDF Info
$DocInfo = New-Object Aspose.PDF.DocumentInfo($MyDoc)
$DocInfo.CreationDate = Get-Date
$DocInfo.ModDate = Get-Date
$DocInfo.Author = “Travel Pay Processing”
$DocInfo.Title = “Just a Test PDF”

#Save PDF
$MyDoc.Save("$($MergeDir)mypdf.pdf")
