Not that this what you asked for, but there's a small python application called stapler that can extract metadata. At the least, maybe somehow it could be useful to look at the code? Then again, it's built on a python library... so maybe there's nothing that will really translate to elisp. I just ran into it as an alternative to pdftk and thus it was fresh in my mind. At github: https://github.com/fwenzel/stapler Pertinent output from help: ,--- | $ stapler --help | ... | info: <inputfile> ...
