No one had answered this query, and I found the answer so I thought I'd
share:

PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("yourpdf.pdf");
HashMap map= reader.getInfo();
Set keys = map.keySet();
Iterator i = keys.iterator();

while(i.hasNext()) {
String thiskey = (String)i.next();
System.out.println(thiskey + ":" + (String)map.get(thiskey));
}
