[Athen] Title, tags, lang - where are they in a PDF document? Beginning or end?

[Corrine Schoeb]

Thank you to everyone who has responded so far.

I think I need to clarify - this is a scan using code not a physical
scanner.  We've developed a scan for our Moodle instance.  Right now, it
can recognize text vs. an image of text but we are working on refining that
scan further.  Large documents take up a lot of cpu/memory so we are
thinking we might be able to limit our scan the first 5-10 pages to see if
there is a title, tags, etc.  I'm just not sure where that data is stored -
at the beginning or at the end of the PDF.

I know this is very technical question and a bit obscure but I figured this
might be the right group.
