Question

How can I modify the PDF document properties programmatically using .NET code?

I have purchased a number of eBooks in PDF format and unfortunately the publishers have not set the Title, Author and Subject properties. You can see this on a document by accessing the file Properties dialog and selecting the PDF tab. This is a real pain when attempting to use the PDF eBook on an eReader device.

I don’t want to have to purchase a full PDF Writer product to do this so I’m hoping someone can point me to a simple free library that I can use to modify the properties programmatically.

If no .NET library is available I’d appreciate any other technique.

Here’s a list of open-source PDF Libraries in C#

A couple of other libraries, that are not on that list:
ByteScout-PDF
iTextSharp
