Scott Pakin submitted an update to the hyperxmp package. Version number: 4.1 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. Version 4.1 of hyperxmp is primarily a bug-fix release. The only new option is pdfpublisher, which names the publisher of the document. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
