Hi,

I'm pretty sure this is not the right forum for this question, but I've heard that some Illustrator scripting questions get answered here as well.
I'm looking for a way to set the metadata (file>info) of an Illustrator document in Illustrator CS.
This should be done using either Applescript or the Illustrator SDK. The Illustrator document is exported as a PDF, and the metadata should later be retrieved from Acrobat 5.0 (through VB or the acrobat SDK).
The only way I've come up with is to edit the PDF-file on the mac, and add the info-key. This has worked for me in the past, but is rather complicated. I'm sure there's an easier way.

Thanks for any help,

Joeri
