What we need: The ability to programmatically SET PDF document metadata values (Title) at runtime when generating PDFs using the Section Report API.
What the documentation shows: According to the ActiveReports documentation, the PdfExport.Options property of type PdfDocumentOptions is read-only and only allows getting the options object, not setting it with custom values. Read-only properties that display default or auto-generated metadata values.
Our specific use case:
// We need something like this to work:
var report = new SectionReport();
report.Document.Title = “Purchase Order A10500”; // Custom title
// Then export to PDF with these metadata values embedded
var pdfExport = new PdfExport();
pdfExport.Export(report.Document, outputStream);
Question: Does the Section Report Document class expose writable/settable properties for Title that will be embedded in the generated PDF?
This is critical for 508/PDF-UA compliance, as accessibility validators check for proper document metadata in generated PDFs.
