    Valid (X)HTML meta tag attribute names are:

    • TITLE (optional), DC.TITLE
    • CREATOR, AUTHOR, DC.CREATOR
    • SUBJECT, DC.SUBJECT
    • KEYWORDS

    Valid PDF meta names are defined in Adobe's PDF Reference (Sixth Edition), section "10.2.1 - Document Information Dictionary", table 10.2, pg.844 ...

    Usage

     // Setup output stream
 OutputStream outputStream = ...

 // Create W3C document model
 Document doc = ...

 // Create new PDF renderer
 ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();

 // Add PDF creation listener
 PDFCreationListener pdfCreationListener = new XHtmlMetaToPdfInfoAdapter( doc );
 renderer.setListener( pdfCreationListener);

 // Add W3C document to renderer
 renderer.setDocument( doc, null );

 // Layout PDF document
 renderer.layout();

 // Write PDF document
 renderer.createPDF( outputStream, true );
