The code that generates that is
$pdf->setCreator(PDF_CREATOR);
$pdf->setAuthor('Nicola Asuni');
$pdf->setTitle('TCPDF Example 001');
$pdf->setSubject('TCPDF Tutorial');
$pdf->setKeywords('TCPDF, PDF, example, test, guide');
We can see here that
- Description contains the Subject
- Subject contains the keywords
With this PR the code to create the PDF is now
$pdf->setCreator(PDF_CREATOR);
$pdf->setAuthor('Nicola Asuni');
$pdf->setTitle('TCPDF Example 001');
$pdf->setSubject('TCPDF Tutorial');
$pdf->setDescription('TCPDF Tutorial Description');
$pdf->setKeywords('TCPDF, PDF, example, test, guide');
and the output is
