I have various PDF Files which contain PDF-Text (from OCR) stored in metadata. Sometimes/Often the OCR is not quite accurate, so I would like to EDIT the metadata. I use pdftotext to extract this metadata, though I can't find a simple way to overwrite/edit the text in a PDF file.

I am looking for the simplest solution to edit/overwrite the metadata. (Freeware/Commandline)
