Bug#756984: ghostscript: When run on a PDF file, ps2pdf generates an "Untitled" XMP title
Package: ghostscript
Version: 9.05~dfsg-8.1
Severity: important
When I run ps2pdf on a PDF title that has a document info title (as
generated by pdflatex), Ghostscript generates a PDF file with an
"Untitled" XMP title, which is incorrect. This currently makes the
PDF viewer of Firefox display "Untitled" as the title instead of
the real title of the PDF file:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1031612
As XMP entries are regarded as the successor of the document info
ones according to
http://www.pdflib.com/knowledge-base/xmp-metadata/
they will tend to override the document info ones (unless the
application is aware of this bug). Hence the problem with Firefox.
This is either a Debian-specific bug or it has already been fixed
upstream, as upstream's 9.14 does not show this problem.
