Can I tell which software generated a PDF file?

Given a PDF file. Can I find out which software/libraries (e.g. PDFBox, Adobe Acrobat, iText...) where used to created/edit it?

Solution

You can try opening the file in Adobe Acrobat Reader and look at the properties.

You can find this in: File -> Properties in Adobe Acrobat Reader after you open the pdf file.
