Is it possible to have the same field names, but with different metadata values for each page in a PDF?
For example, let's say each page could have the fields 'author', 'document reference', 'location', etc... and these have different values on each page. So this example would have on page 1 the author "John Smith" and page 2 would have the author "Jane Simmons" and so on.
The only examples I've seen for PDF metadata all relate to document-wide information - but none for page-only information.
I'm developing in Python.
Thank You. :)
The easiest way to confirm is to go right to the source, i.e. the ISO 32000-1 Standards document. – Karan – 2015-06-05T09:08:32.980
@Karan, that is slightly difficult as the actual standard is very expensive - CHF200. Fortunately there are legitimate downloads.

– Karan – 2015-06-05T09:42:40.363@Karan - ah, well it was you who mentioned the ISO standard :) It always annoys me that you have to pay so much to get copies of ISO standards. – Julian Knight – 2015-06-05T10:02:37.237
@JulianKnight: I did, but the very first search result for "ISO 32000-1 Standards" is Adobe's PDF so... Re. the cost I'm completely with you. I see no reason why they need to charge so much, especially from individuals and not companies. – Karan – 2015-06-05T10:05:47.493
@Karan - the joys of Google which, as you know, gives personalised results so yours will not be the same as mine. The ISO standards website came up first for me. Probably because I was searching for a new security standard last week. – Julian Knight – 2015-06-05T10:16:21.240
@JulianKnight: Ok, let's not quibble over search positions. :) It does come up on searching and better still you've linked to it and saved the OP the effort. Job well done and dusted. – Karan – 2015-06-05T10:18:57.327
