Oh, hang on - you didn't include this line before, and it's not a
DevRef6.2.2-compliant synopsis.  As a rule of thumb, it should be
something that fits into the template

 the package $PACKAGE provides (a/the) $SYNOPSIS

So here it wants to be something like

  Description: tool for extracting/scrubbing versioning data from PDF documents
  Description: tool for manipulating PDF document versioning information
  Description: versioning information extractor/eraser for PDF documents

-- 
JBR	with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian
	sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular package
