PDF metadata

Metadata in PDF files can be stored in at least two places:

  • the Info Dictionary, a limited set of key/value pairs
  • XMP packets, which contain RDF statements expressed as XML

A5 printed card with HTML + CSS
  1. Clone this Gist.
  2. For card sizes other than A5, edit the size value in @page, and the height and width properties of body.
  3. Add contents to each face. The simplest approach is to add an image called front.png of the same dimensions as the card.
  4. Generate a PDF from the HTML + CSS. If using Prince, it's as simple as prince index.html card.pdf.
  5. Take the PDF to a printer, and ask them to print as many copies as you need.
