30.09.2008 · [Christian Ullenboom](https://tutego.de/blog/javainsel/author/admin/)

 ```java
package com.tutego.traida.util;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.util.HashMap;

import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper;

public class PdfUtils
{
```

public static void `setMetaData( String sourceFilename, String targetFilename )`

```java
 {
 try
 {
 PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader( sourceFilename );
 PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper( pdfReader, new FileOutputStream( targetFilename ) );

 @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
 HashMap<String, String> info = pdfReader.getInfo();
 info.put( "Title", "Rechnung für Beratung" );
 info.put( "Author", "tutego" );
 info.put( "Subject", "Rechnung" );
 info.put( "Keywords", "Rechnung, tutego" );
```

info.put( "Creator", "[http://www.tutego.com/"](http://www.tutego.com/) );

```java
 info.put( "Producer", "tutego Training Software 1.2" );

 stamp.setMoreInfo( info );
 stamp.close();
 pdfReader.close();
 }
 catch ( Exception e )
 {
 e.printStackTrace();
 }
 }
```

public static void main( `String`\[\] args )

```java
 {
 setMetaData( "c:/a.pdf", "c:/new.pdf" );
 }
}
```
