in reply to PDF Information fields: Modifying

Here is the code to change the title for a PDF. This should get you pointed in the right direction: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use PDF::API2;
$pdf = PDF::API2->open('test.pdf');
#%info = $pdf->info;
$font = $pdf->corefont("Times-Roman");
$info{Title} = $font->text( "New Title");
$pdf->info (%info);
$pdf->update;
$pdf->saveas("newfile.pdf");

[download]
PDF::API2 is on CPAN

    When trying this code, I get the error:

    Can't call method "out_file" on an undefined value at /apps/PERL5/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/PDF/API2.pm line 587.

    Any ideas why?

      I suspect the issue is that you don't have a file called test.pdf...
