When I try to change any value on a pdf file I receive a message "Can't find Root object" ¿?
I can see the metadata of this file but I can't do any change over this.

If you can send me the pdf (philharvey66 at gmail.com), I'll take a look.

I got the file, thanks.  This will take some work to figure out what is going on.  I'll post back here when I know more.

OK.  The problem is due to a PDF comment between the Root object identifier and the Root object itself.  I haven't seen this before, but I checked the PDF specification and it appears to be legal, so I will patch ExifTool to handle this possibility, and ExifTool 10.10 should be able to read/write this PDF OK.

In case you can run the pure Perl version, I have place a 10.10 pre-release here for you to test out.
