The reason I asked is exiftool doesn't contain any binaries and relies on perl (and the various perl libraries) to do it's thing. So in that respect I was wondering if Automator was using anything other then the primary binary within the /System/Library/Automator/Set PDF Metadata.action file, which is the Set PDF Metadata action you see in Automator itself, to do the actual work. As an example the Scale Images action uses /usr/bin/sips to do that actual manipulation. So it's just idle curiosity if the Set PDF Metadata action is calling an outside binary to do the actual work.
