CTAN Update: hyperxmp
by CTAN Announcements 19 Apr '11

19 Apr '11

On Mon, 18 Apr 2011 Scott Pakin submitted an update to the hyperxmp package. Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by Adobe for embedding document metadata within the document itself. The metadata is 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: author, title, subject, keywords, copyright, and license URL. hyperxmp currently embeds XMP only within PDF documents but is compatible with pdflatex, latex+dvipdfm, xelatex, and latex+dvips+ps2pdf. Version 1.2 adds support for a few elements of the Photoshop schema, support for xelatex, and compatibility with the ngerman package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/hyperxmp . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperxmp (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
