Hi Michael,

I maintain print/pdftk, and you can edit document metadata with it.  The
"updateinfo" subcommand should do what you want.  I found this page
describing that and some other functions of the tool:
http://scottnesbitt.net/ubuntublog/?p=269.

The only issue with pdftk right now is that it doesn't install on 6.x
due to problems with the underlying gcc Java toolchain.

Hope that helps,
Greg
