Hello friends,

I am working on a document management system which supports all pdf files and it has its own attribute saving feature but one of my customer needs to save the customized attributes within the PDF/A file.

Can anyone help or suggest a way how to achieve that. I have no clue :S

I will appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Khurram

The PDF/A standard requires that all metadata be stored as XMP – the XML-based metadata standard that has been part of PDF since PDF 1.4 (Acrobat 5). You can find details on the [url=http://www.adobe.com/devnet/xmp/]XMP Specification[/url] available form the Adobe website.
