command line tool to modify pdf file properties

[sujitrjadhav]

Hi,

Is there any pdf command line tool that one can use to modify following properties of a pdf file:

Title
Author
Subject
Keywords.

The file is without password.

Also is it possible to secure file through command line?

Thanks in advance

Re. securing the pdf file, check out qpdf from the software center.
