set document properties

How to set the document properties of pdf file like Author/Title using Acrobat IAC?

I assigned the property GetJSObject to an object variable
and tried using the property info.title. But it returns an error:

Dim jso as object
jso=gpddoc.GetJSObject
jso.info.title="xx"

The above code returns an error.
Please let me know how to assign the title property.

thanks,

There is a direct IAC method, SetInfo. Refer to table 10.2 in the PDF
Reference for valid Info dictionary keys.

I tried also the direct IAC method:

pdDoc.SetInfo("Title","XX") - the value "XX" should be assigned as
the Title name.

But when i checked the TITLE in the document properties it was 'Title' instead of the value 'XX'

Please let me know what the problem is..

thanks,

Ok, if that's broken, let's look at JSO:

>Dim jso as object
>jso=gpddoc.GetJSObject
>jso.info.title="xx"

GetJSObject returns a JSObject. You seem to be assuming that this is a
PDDoc; it is not. The "working with annotations" example in the VB
JavaScript document shows an example of obtaining and working with a
PDDoc object, given the JSObject.

AS per your suggestion, i referred the VB Javascript document and altered the code, as seen below:

Dim n as object
Dim jso as object
jso=gpddoc.GetJSObject
n=jso.info
msgbox(n.Title)

This returned an error Public member 'Title' on type '_comObject' not found.

Please let me know how to use this method.

I take back my reply after more reading. This does look valid.
