The PDFDocument class makes updating metadata attributes simple but appears to:

  1. Disallow arbitrary values for the /Producer attribute - the wite action substitutes an Apple string as the producer
  2. Offer no choice over the PDF version or the write format - it's 1.4, and compressed regardless of the original PDF format


Am I missing something simple in the PDFDocument class that will over-ride this behaviour?

Is the PDFDocument structure archive conformant and, if so, to what level?

Is it necessary to deal directly with CGPDFDocument to overcome these limitations?


cheers,

david

Observing similar behavior on iOS (even with 16 beta): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72974880/how-to-specify-pdf-format-version-on-ios

Unfortunately it's preventing me from using XMP with PDFs in my app.
