PDF.Metadata

class Metadata

Optional metadata to be passed into the PDF factory function.

Methods

Overloaded function.

Attributes

`fAuthor`	The name of the person who created the document.
`fCreator`	If the document was converted to PDF from another format, the name of the conforming product that created the original document from which it was converted.
`fEncodingQuality`	Encoding quality controls the trade-off between size and quality.
`fKeywords`	Keywords associated with the document.
`fPDFA`	If true, include XMP metadata, a document UUID, and sRGB output intent information.
`fProducer`	The product that is converting this document to PDF.
`fRasterDPI`	The DPI (pixels-per-inch) at which features without native PDF support will be rasterized (e.g.
`fStructureElementTreeRoot`	An optional tree of structured document tags that provide a semantic representation of the content.
`fSubject`	The subject of the document.
`fTitle`	The document's title.

Methods

Metadata.__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

Metadata.fCreator: If the document was converted to PDF from another format, the name of the conforming product that created the original document from which it was converted.

Metadata.fEncodingQuality: Encoding quality controls the trade-off between size and quality. By default this is set to 101 percent, which corresponds to lossless encoding. If this value is set to a value <= 100, and the image is opaque, it will be encoded (using JPEG) with that quality setting.

Metadata.fKeywords: Keywords associated with the document. Commas may be used to delineate keywords within the string.

Metadata.fPDFA: If true, include XMP metadata, a document UUID, and sRGB output intent information. This adds length to the document and makes it non-reproducable, but are necessary features for PDF/A-2b conformance

Metadata.fRasterDPI: The DPI (pixels-per-inch) at which features without native PDF support will be rasterized (e.g. draw image with perspective, draw text with perspective, …) A larger DPI would create a PDF that reflects the original intent with better fidelity, but it can make for larger PDF files too, which would use more memory while rendering, and it would be slower to be processed or sent online or to printer.

Metadata.fStructureElementTreeRoot: An optional tree of structured document tags that provide a semantic representation of the content. The caller should retain ownership.
