CTAN update: hyperxmp
by CTAN Announcements 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the hyperxmp package. Version number: 4.0 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. hyperxmp can embed a wide variety of metadata as XMP, including the list of authors, document title, contact information (telephone number, postal address, email address, etc.), copyright statement, keywords, natural language, and much more. hyperxmp is compatible with pdflatex, latex+dvips+ps2pdf, latex+dvipdfm, xelatex, and lualatex. Version 4.0 of hyperxmp makes some substantial improvements to PDF/A compatibility. It also adds support for numerous metadata defined in the PRISM Basic schema: book edition, DOI, file size in bytes, ISBN, ISSN, issue number, page count, page ranges, type of parent publication, URL of the document, and volume number. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/hyperxmp More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperxmp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
