Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
hyperxmp
package.
Version number: 3.4
License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by Adobe for
embedding document metadata within the document itself. The
metadata are designed to be easy to extract, even by programs that are
oblivious to the document's file format. Most of Adobe's
applications store XMP metadata when saving files. Now, with the hyperxmp
package, it is trivial for LaTeX document authors to store
XMP metadata in their documents as well.
hyperxmp integrates seamlessly with hyperref and requires virtually no
modifications to documents that already exploit hyperref's
mechanisms for specifying PDF metadata. The current version of hyperxmp
can embed the following metadata as XMP: authors, base URL,
contact telephone number/postal address/email address/URL, copyright
statement, creation date, document identifier, document instance
identifier, document type, file format, keywords, language, LaTeX file
name, license URL, metadata writer, PDF version, PDF-generating
tool, PDF/A compliance level and version, primary author's position or
title, subject/summary, and title. hyperxmp is compatible with
pdflatex, latex+dvips+ps2pdf, latex+dvipdfm, xelatex, and lualatex.
Version 3.4 of hyperxmp addresses some bugs identified by Gaëtan Leurent
and makes the package more robust.
