Add XMP dta to PDF file via pypdf

I need to add XMP data to a PDF file obtained through pypdf. In question reading/writing XML metadata on PDF files through pypdf, KyleBrooks answered that this is impossible. But that was in 2009. Maybe it is now possible to use the latest version of pypdf?

If not, do you know any other non-commercial way of embedding an XMP XML file into a PDF document?

Solution

  • You can run

    cpdf -print-metadata in.pdf

    And

    cpdf -set-metadata data.xml in.pdf -o out.pdf
