How to modify file summary (title, subject etc...)
-
I'm looking for any insight on how to modify the summary information of a file (title, subject, author etc.). I've looked through System.IO and can't seem to find anything that will do this. I want to do this for any type of file (primarily office docs and pdfs), so dsofile doesn't quite do the trick. Thanks

This information (for office documents) is actually stored in OLE Structured Storage (as part of the file). The only way to modify this would be to either access the file direct or to use COM Interop with the Office applications.

I can modify all of the properties for office docs using the dsofile.dll which isn't a problem. Is there a generic way to modify the file summary for any type of document, not just office docs?
I'm sure I just pointed out that the summary was stored in the file itself - i.e. wasn't easily accessible metadata. So, no. Different files types have their own ways of storing this information.

File.SetCreationTime();That kind of stuff? Nevermind. I see you were talking about author, description, etc :)I get all the news I need from the weather report - Paul Simon (from "The Only Living Boy in New York")
