Adding Custom Properties in PDF

[uvishwakarma]

I am so sorry Phil for the confusion. I already posted my intended PDF file and again posting the same. You can check in Acrobat application, all custom tags are visible there along with array kind of tags (AuthoritativeDomain):

I did tried XMP::pdfx but it was not showing in the Acrobat custom properties but when I use PDF::Info it does shows custom tags in the Acrobat custom tags list.

Please suggest.

Regards,
Umesh

Using the -v3 option you can see what is going on inside this PDF file:

Code Select Expand

[...]
  + [Info directory with 15 entries]
  | 0)  Author = (Ali Fattahi)
  |     - Tag 'Author', direct object
  | 1)  AuthoritativeDomain_1_ = (yahoo.com)
  |     - Tag 'AuthoritativeDomain#5B1#5D', direct object
  | 2)  AuthoritativeDomain_2_ = (google.com)
  |     - Tag 'AuthoritativeDomain#5B2#5D', direct object
  | 3)  CreateDate = (D:20120824160310+05'30')
  |     - Tag 'CreationDate', direct object

To write these PDF Info AuthoritativeDomain tags, you need a config file like this:

Code Select Expand

%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined = (
  'Image::ExifTool::PDF::Info' => {
     doi => {
         Writable => 'string',
     },
     'AuthoritativeDomain#5B1#5D' => {
         Name => 'AuthoritativeDomain1',
         Writable => 'string',
     },
     'AuthoritativeDomain#5B2#5D' => {
         Name => 'AuthoritativeDomain2',
         Writable => 'string',
     },
  },
);   
1; # end

and the command is:

exiftool -authoritativedomain1=google.com -authoritativedomain2=yahoo.com FILE
