Martin Hilpert updated PDFBOX-823:
----------------------------------

              Summary: NullPointerException in 
DateConverter.toISO8601(DateConverter.java:221)  (was: DocumentInformation is 
not visible (with Acrobat Reader))
    Affects Version/s: 1.2.1
                           (was: 1.3.0)
          Description: 
I tried to add metadata as shown in AddMetadataFromDocInfo.java. There's also 
the line

   basicSchema.setModifyDate( info.getModificationDate() );

but I get a NullPointerException at this line:

    java.lang.NullPointerException
        at 
org.apache.jempbox.impl.DateConverter.toISO8601(DateConverter.java:221)
        at org.apache.jempbox.xmp.XMPSchema.setDateProperty(XMPSchema.java:249)
        at 
org.apache.jempbox.xmp.XMPSchemaBasic.setModifyDate(XMPSchemaBasic.java:266)

because the info.getModificationDate() returns null. It would be better to 
catch null parameters in the metadata set methods.

Workaround:

            if (pddi.getModificationDate() != null) {
                basicSchema.setModifyDate(pddi.getModificationDate());
            }//else: avoid NPE

  was:
I try to set PDF document inforamtion 
(http://pdfbox.apache.org/userguide/metadata.html), but the final PDF doesn't 
have my information set! E.g.

final PDDocumentInformation pddi = doc.getDocumentInformation();
pddi.setAuthor("MeAndMyself");

I debugged and ensured that after creation of PDF with APache FOP, this is the 
last action on the PDF done. But when viewing with Acrobat Reader, only the 
information that I set during FOP rendering is shown.

But then I noticed that when I view the PDF file with FoxIt Reader (4.0), File 
> Properties show all the properties I set like Title, Author, Producer. 
Viewing this exact same PDF file with Acrobat Reader (9.3.4), this properties 
are not shown (and some other properties are shown I set during the first FOP 
PDF Rendering to produce the PDF).

I wonder if there are multiple ways to store such information in a PDF? Why is 
showing FoxItReader the properties I set afterwards with PDFBox, but Adobe 
Reader ignores those Properties and show the properties set on the first PDF 
generation?

          Component/s: JempBox
                           (was: PDModel)

Found XMP Metadata example.
