I would like to do this with the on-board resources of FME.

 

The PDF-Reader can read out the metadata, but can I use the PDF-Writer to overwrite it without changing the rest of the file?

 

An idea:

How does the FME read out the metadata? If a library such as exiftool is used for this, then this could also be done using a command line with the SystemCaller.

You could set up a PDF-to-PDF translation but that would literally translate all of the data (and given that PDF has some peculiarities I'm not sure how smart this is). I think an approach using a SystemCaller and an external application is indeed the way to go.
