pdfInfo

Document Information dictionary — ISO 32000-2 §14.3.3.

Module pdfInfo | Source packages/front/office/pdf/src/metadata/info.js | Deps pdfErrors, pdfParser | Worker-safe yes

The trailer's /Info entry carries legacy metadata: /Title, /Author, /Subject, /Keywords, /Creator, /Producer, /CreationDate, /ModDate, /Trapped (True/False/Unknown). PDF 2.0 deprecates it in favour of XMP (Catalog /Metadata), but /Info remains common. Dates are returned as the raw PDF date string (D:YYYYMMDDHHmmSSOHH'mm') — typeInfo does not parse them into Date objects; the caller parses the string if it needs a Date.

Resolve

const info = runtime.resolve('pdfInfo');
// Returns: { typeInfo }

API

Shape Info

{
    title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer,   // strings
    creationDate: string | undefined,   // raw D:YYYYMMDDHHmmSSOHH'mm', unparsed
    modDate: string | undefined,        // raw D:YYYYMMDDHHmmSSOHH'mm', unparsed
    trapped: 'True' | 'False' | 'Unknown' | undefined,
    raw, _extras
}

Examples

Reading the trailer's Info

const info = runtime.resolve('pdfInfo').typeInfo(doc._raw.resolve(trailer.info));
info.title;
info.creationDate;   // 'D:20260115120000+01\'00\'' — raw, parse it yourself

Prepress check

if (info.trapped !== 'True') console.warn('document not trapped');
