    Does it need to be done by imagemagick or are you also interested in solutions using another tool to change the tag in the generated pdf? Commented May 21, 2021 at 11:54
  • @terdon If possible I would like to set tags during conversion, because as I understand from ExifTool documentation all subsequent modifications will be reversible and old versions of tags will stay in a PDF file. Commented May 21, 2021 at 12:41
  • Anything you do will be reversible. That's just meta data and any editor that can handle PDF tags can change the values. Why is that a problem? Commented May 21, 2021 at 12:46
  • Which version of imagemagick are you using? convert --version. The Producer tag was a bug, but has been fixed a couple of years ago. Commented May 21, 2021 at 12:54
  • @terdon I meant that exiftool will only append new version of tags (not actually overriding old values, they will stay in file itself). So you can restore original values by deleting changes like $ exiftool -PDF-update:all= file.pdf. Commented May 21, 2021 at 12:54
