Will wp_get_attachment_metadata display PDF metadata (eg: keyword, author, description)?

Question

I used this technique to display attached PDF metadata on a page. It shows the title and path but not info like keyword, author, and description. Can Wordpress access all the properties uploaded with a PDF file and if so, what's the best way to get at them? TIA

I'd say you're gonna need external assistance...

$pdf = Zend_Pdf::load($pdfPath);

echo $pdf->properties['Title'] . "\n";
echo $pdf->properties['Author'] . "\n";
