How to set metadata in PDF (File --> Document Properties --> Summary) using a C# ?

I need to write a program that can set metadata on PDF file (File --> Properties --> Summary/Keywords) using a program. Metadata that needs to be set is Title, Author, Subject and keywords. Can someone help? Is there any sample code that I could start with?

C# or .Net does not have any in-built support for PDFs. Infact, you don't need any PDF support in this particular case.
