public class PInfo
extends Dictionary

This class represents the data stored in a File trailers optional "info" entry.

Any entry whose value is not known should be omitted from the dictionary, rather than included with an empty string as its value.

Some plug-in extensions may choose to permit searches on the contents of the document information dictionary. To facilitate browsing and editing, all keys in the dictionary are fully spelled out, not abbreviated. New keys should be chosen with care so that they make sense to users.
