One might also want to consider img2pdf which according to the documentation has some advantages and also supports setting metadata fields including Title and Producer (see img2pdf --help).

OK. So the solution is to not use exiftool, right?

@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.

Which version of imagemagick are you using? convert --version. The Producer tag was a bug, but has been fixed a couple of years ago.

| May 21, 2021 at 12:41 | comment | added | anlar | @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. | |
