Question

使用R中的pdf（）图形设备创建PDF时，可以使用title =参数轻松添加标题元数据到pdf（）。但是没有明显的方法可以添加作者。

在R中查看pdf（）的代码，关键似乎是C函数C_PDF，它显然没有作者参数，这超出了我的破解能力。还有其他方法，比将我的图形输出编织成LaTeX创建的PDF更方便，包括作者信息并保存我们以后手动操作吗？

.External(C_PDF, file, old$paper, old$family, old$encoding, 
    old$bg, old$fg, old$width, old$height, old$pointsize, 
    onefile, old$pagecentre, old$title, old$fonts, version[1L], 
    version[2L], old$colormodel, old$useDingbats, old$useKerning, 
    old$fillOddEven, old$compress)

我对此没有太大的希望，因为this broader question没有令人满意的基于语言的答案......

以下是使用these filetypes获取和设置任何ExifTool的Exif元数据的几个函数。

获取元数据：

getexif <- function(file, exiftool='exiftool.exe', opts=NULL, 
                    intern=TRUE, simplify=FALSE) {
  # file: the file to be updated
  # exiftool: the path to the ExifTool binary
  # opts: additional arguments to ExifTool (optional)
  # intern: should a named vector of metadata be returned? (bool)
  # simplify: if intern==TRUE, should the results be returned as a named 
  #           vector (TRUE) or as a data.frame (FALSE)?
  arg <- c(opts, normalizePath(file))
  if(intern) {
    exif <- system2(normalizePath(exiftool), args=arg, stdout=TRUE)
    exif <- do.call(rbind, strsplit(exif, ' +: +', perl=T))
    row.names(exif) <- exif[, 1]
    exif[, 2, drop=simplify]
  } else {
    system2(normalizePath(exiftool), args=arg, stdout='')
  }
}

设置元数据：

setexif <- function(file, metadata, exiftool='exiftool.exe') {
  # file: the file to be updated
  # metadata: a named character vector or list containing metadata
  # exiftool: the path to the ExifTool binary
  exif <- sprintf('-%s="%s"', names(metadata), metadata)
  system2(exiftool, args=c(exif, file))
}

这是一个例子

pdf(f <- tempfile(fileext='.pdf'))
plot(runif(10))
dev.off()

toolpath <- 'c:/software/exiftool(-k).exe'


setexif(f, c(title = "foo", subject='bar', author = "Me"), toolpath)

getexif(f, toolpath)

有没有办法将“作者”元数据添加到从R创建的pdf
