That information can be added to the pdf
by filling in the hyperref keywords

I'll have to read the hyperref manual to find the correct keyword; 
see below for link.

Here are what little I know about the keyword list:

%***        pdfstartview in: Fit FitH FitV FitR FitB FitBH FitBV
\usepackage[bookmarks=false%SUGI style guide
           ,pdfkeywords ={
            dynamic programming, list processing, macro, SQL
           }%end pdfkeywords
           ,pdfsubject  ={list processing, review sql dictionaries,
           writing text with sql
           }%end pdfsubject
           ,pdfstartview=FitBH%fit width of page to the window
           ,pdfusetitle%author and title
]{hyperref}\begin{document}\maketitle%
\pdfcompresslevel=9%best compression level for text and image

see
ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref/doc/options.pdf

here is the default:

keyword: pdfcreator 
description: text for PDF Creator field 
value: LaTeX with hyperref package
