Getting PDF document information into the PDF requires an extension by the
FO processor. XEP and Antenna House have such extensions and the
stylesheets make use of them. I don't think FOP has such an extension. If
someone finds that it does, then please post a reference to it and file a
bug report on SourceForge to get it supported in the stylesheets.
