Set author of PDFs

timme wrote on 2010-07-08:
Hello,

we would like to specify the author meta field of a PDF in order to disguise the URL that the PDF was generated from. Is there any way to set the author through the API?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Tim

Not at the moment but we can add that feature for you.

What language do you use for accessing the API?

Python on Google App Engine.

We have added a new method setAuthor() to the Python API library. Please download the latest version and check it out.

Hello, I would like to be able to set the author in the PHP API.

The current configuration uses the full original URL as the author, I really don't want that.

Can you help?

- Thanks

Please, download the latest version (1.5) of the PHP client library which adds the setAuthor method.
