I am dangerously unaware of itextSharp, but this helped me:

    PdfReader pdf = new PdfReader(fileName);
    string metadataXml = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(pdf.Metadata);

I would suggest you check the namespace iTextSharp.text.xml.xmp

.

I've never done what you're trying to do, but the class XmpReader

looks promising.
