Description

There are some use cases, where the metadata can have a significant impact on the usability of a created PDF.

As an example, for technical drawings it is generally more advisable to hint the PDF viewer not to scale the content in order to respect printer margins, since this changes the scale of the drawing.

Such a hint can be specified in the meta data.
