PDF metadata

You can include metadata when generating PDFs using either our template endpoints or HTML to PDF endpoints.

PDF Metadata options

Here's a list of all the optional parameters that you can send as an object "metadata" while using our endpoints:

Property name
Type
Description

title

string

A human-readable name for the document, like a book title. default: the name of the template

author

string

The individual or organization that created the document. default: pdforge

subject

string

A brief description of the document’s topic.

keywords

string[]

A list of keywords describing the content.

creator

string

The original software that created the content before it was turned into a PDF. default: pdforge

These values will appear in the PDF’s file details. On macOS, you can check them by right-clicking the file and selecting Get Info in Finder.

The only field you can’t override is the Encoding software. It’s automatically set by our system.
