What exactly doesn't work and do you get the same problems when you set the values in the following minimal example (everything has to be in the same file).

Thank you, Wolfgang.

The above example does work. It fails to set the metadata if one moves the \setupdocument to an environment file. As you write, "everything has to be in the same file". The requirement was only necessary for the example to check if the

Thank you all. No modes, no funniness in the environment file. The test case works (Acroread/properties shows the Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords fields). However, my real case does get the other fields (Author, Subject, and Keywords) but contains in the Title field the filename (without the .tex extension) of the main file (and filename.tex under File). I'll chase it down... Alan On 25/07/20 02:40, Henning Hraban Ramm wrote:

A typical case if something in an environment doesn’t work, but in a single file: Are there modes involved? Maybe your \setupdocument is within a \startmode ... \stopmode that doesn’t get activated.

Best, Hraban
