Title, tags, lang - where are they in a PDF document? Beginning or end?

We are working on creating a scan of PDF documents, some of which are 100+
pages. Rather than scan the full document to find out if it is tagged, has
a title and language we thought we might be able to do the first 5-10 pages
but I'm not sure where the title, tag, lang data is stored in a PDF.

So my question is, are title, tag, lang attributes of a PDF stored at the
beginning of a PDF or at the end?
