How to set PDF Metadata in PHP

The typical process for setting up PDF metadata editing in PHP is a bit of a chore. But the method that I’m going to show you today is as easy as 1, 2, 3! Here’s a quick rundown.

1. Install our API client, using the following command.

composer require cloudmersive/cloudmersive_document_convert_api_client

2. Call this function:

<?php
require_once(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
$config = Swagger\Client\Configuration::getDefaultConfiguration()->setApiKey('Apikey', 'YOUR_API_KEY');
// Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed
// $config = Swagger\Client\Configuration::getDefaultConfiguration()->setApiKeyPrefix('Apikey', 'Bearer');
$apiInstance = new Swagger\Client\Api\EditPdfApi(
// If you want use custom http client, pass your client which implements `GuzzleHttp\ClientInterface`.
// This is optional, `GuzzleHttp\Client` will be used as default.
new GuzzleHttp\Client(),
$config
);
$request = new \Swagger\Client\Model\SetPdfMetadataRequest(); // \Swagger\Client\Model\SetPdfMetadataRequest |
try {
$result = $apiInstance->editPdfSetMetadata($request);
print_r($result);
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Exception when calling EditPdfApi->editPdfSetMetadata: ', $e->getMessage(), PHP_EOL;
}
?>

3. Input your desired PDF file and corresponding metadata into editPdfSetMetadata.

That’s it! Seriously, that’s the entire process. So easy!
