SetTitle Method (GdPicturePDF)
In This Topic
Sets up a new title of the currently loaded PDF document into the document information dictionary and into the document catalog's metadata as well.

If the loaded PDF document contains metadata stored in the Metadata entry in the document catalog, the newly specified Title property is synchronized with those metadata. That means, you will be able to see the changed value of this property using the Acrobat's Document Properties dialogue box.

Public Sub SetTitle( _
   ByVal Title As String _
) 
public void SetTitle( 
   string Title

public:
void SetTitle( 
   String^ Title
) 

Parameters

Title
A new value of the Title property as a string.
Remarks
This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

It is recommend to use the GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Just to remind you that the newly specified Title property is synchronized with existing metadata, if any are included in the loaded PDF document.
