# `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
