discussion of the limitations. 3. page-size metadata corresponds to the
MediaBox size. 4. now supports Multilingual Metadata, using legacy
8-bit encodings (Latin1–Latin9, KOI8-R, and some others). 5. supports
Metadata given as a transliteration; e.g. LGR for Greek and OT6 for
Armenian by providing a conversion into UTF-8. This also allows proper
bookmarks with these transliterations. 6. various smaller improvements.
The documentation gives comprehensive instructions on how to easily
obtain relevant metadata from existing documents, and how to include it
to obtain a validating PDF/A or other conforming document. It includes
examples using various languages.
