# `update_info_utf8` Update PDF metadata from `dump_data_utf8` instructions ## Usage > pdftl `` `update_info_utf8` `` `output` `` ## Details Updates the document-level metadata and structural information of the input PDF by reading from a specified metadata file (or stdin). This operation is the direct counterpart to `dump_data_utf8`. It is identical to `update_info`, except it assumes the input file contains raw UTF-8 strings that have **not** been XML-escaped. Use this operation if your metadata source file was created by `dump_data_utf8` or if you have manually created a metadata file that contains raw, unescaped UTF-8 characters. For a complete description of the input format this command expects, see the help for `dump_data`. ## Examples > Update utf-8 metadata according to meta.txt ``` pdftl in.pdf update_info_utf8 meta.txt output out.pdf ``` **Tags**: info, metadata *Source: pdftl.operations.update_info* *Read online: [https://pdftl.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operations/update_info_utf8.html](https://pdftl.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operations/update_info_utf8.html)* *Type: Operation*
