+@cindex PDF metadata
+
+In addition to being shown in the printed output, @code{\header} variables
+are also used to set PDF metadata (the information displayed by PDF readers
+as the @code{properties} of the PDF file). For example, setting the
+@code{title} property of the @code{header} block @q{Symphony I} will also give
+this title to the PDF document.
+
+@example
+ @code{\header@{}
+ @code{title = "Symphony I"}
+ @code{@}}
+@end example
+
+If you want to set the title of the printed output to one value, but have the
+title property of the PDF to have a different value, you can use
+@code{pdftitle}, as below.
+
+@example
+ @code{\header@{}
+ @code{title = "Symphony I"}
+ @code{pdftitle = "Symphony I by Beethoven"}
+ @code{@}}
+@end example
+
+The variables @code{title}, @code{subject}, @code{keywords},
+@code{subtitle}, @code{composer}, @code{arranger}, @code{poet}, @code{author}
+and @code{copyright} all set PDF properties and can all be prefixed with
+@q{pdf} to set a PDF property to a value different from the printed output.
+
+The PDF property @code{Creator} is automatically set to @q{LilyPond} plus
+the current LilyPond version, and @code{CreationDate} and @code{ModDate} are
+both set to the current date and time. @code{ModDate} can be overridden by
+setting the header variable @code{moddate} (or @code{pdfmoddate}) to a
+valid PDF date string.
