How to set PDF Metadata in C# .NET Framework

Working with PDF metadata can be a bit of a tricky business if you are using C#, or really any language for that matter. To get set up easily and quickly, I will be showing you a nice little shortcut that will allow you to edit PDF metadata with minimal coding required. It’s a very simple two-step process, so let’s get straight in.

First we install our package, like so:

Install-Package Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert -Version 3.2.8

And following that we will call our function like this here:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Api;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Client;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Model;
namespace Example
{
public class EditPdfSetMetadataExample
{
public void main()
{
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
Configuration.Default.AddApiKey("Apikey", "YOUR_API_KEY");
// Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed
// Configuration.Default.AddApiKeyPrefix("Apikey", "Bearer");
var apiInstance = new EditPdfApi();
var request = new SetPdfMetadataRequest(); // SetPdfMetadataRequest |
try
{
// Sets PDF document metadata
byte[] result = apiInstance.EditPdfSetMetadata(request);
Debug.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Debug.Print("Exception when calling EditPdfApi.EditPdfSetMetadata: " + e.Message );
}
}
}
}

Done! Super easy.
