Hello,

I'm creating pdf files by acrobat distiller and I'm setting some tags with exiftool – and it works perfectly.
Every pdf file has to be set manually to a specific page view using acrobat professional > preferences > page layout = "Two pages (coverpage)" [in german: "Zwei Seiten (Deckblatt)"].
Doing this, I get a new entrance in the tag result list of exiftool -> 'page layout: TwoPageRight'.
Is there a way to set this tag by exiftool automatically. Either I don't use the correct command or the tag is read only? Can anyone help, thanks...

Hi Rudolf,

You can see which PDF tags are writable in the PDF Tag Name documentation.

Basically, only metadata tags are writable.  Structural tags like PageLayout are not.
