To create a plain-text report of PDF metadata, use pdftk's dump_data operation. It will also report PDF bookmarks and page labels, among other things. The command looks like this:
pdftk mydoc.pdf dump_data output mydoc.data.txt
Metadata will be represented as key/value pairs, like so:
InfoKey: Creator
InfoValue: Acrobat PDFMaker 6.0 for Word
InfoKey: Title
InfoValue: Brian Eno: His Music and the Vertical Color of Sound
InfoKey: Author
InfoValue: Eric Tamm
InfoKey: Producer
InfoValue: Acrobat Distiller 6.0.1 (Windows)
InfoKey: ModDate
InfoValue: D:20040420234132-07'00'
InfoKey: CreationDate
InfoValue: D:20040420234045-07'00'
Another tool for reporting PDF metadata is pdfinfo, which is part of the Xpdf project (http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/). In addition to metadata, it also reports page sizes, page count, and PDF permissions . Running pdfinfo mydoc.pdf yields a report such as this:

Use pdfinfo's options to fine-tune its behavior. Use its -meta option to view a PDF's XMP stream.

Hi,
Users should have to classify documents or items with applying metadata in bulk during file import and copy, indexes the metadata and content of each object as it is stored, keeps track of the locators for each piece of data and provides precise hits as to where the query was found to enable immediate click through to the document, image, backup or file. Thanks a lot.
Amazing! It is interesting & very easy way of getting document metadata. You did great job. I followed instruction given by you and did my work easily. Thanks!
