## Scribus Document Information

### Overview

There are a two points to consider in the “Document Information” panel:

1. The fields in the first tab are used in PDF export. These data can be used by special indexing servers that can index PDF files, as well as Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
2. Scribus supports an initiative called the Dublin Core Initiative. Dublin Core, for short, is a set of specifications for document metadata.

In the first tab, “Document”, you can enter PDF metadata. Note that these are also a subset of Dublin Core:

The second tab is called “Further Information” and contains fields as defined by the Dublin Core specifications:
