Hello !
We have some weird stuffs done by Pitstop:
We are using "title" values in PDF as meta for a lot of things
But each time we use Pitstop, it changes the value
file before

file after

Where can we prevent Pitstop to change this value?

PitStop does not change the Title of a PDF document automatically. You can do that in a Preflight Profile or an Action List, so the first thing to do is to check them for the presence of such a change.
However, there is something else that could play a role here. Traditionally information about the PDF was stored in the Info dictionary of the PDF, but there is a trend to use XMP for that because it a lot more powerful and flexible. I wonder if your PDF contains a Title in both places with different values. Can you share the Before document?

Hi !
Sorry for the long delay
To avoid that I use XMP Pickup before Pitstop and the Xmp Inject after
So I don't lose any metadata
Thx for your help anyway !
