Bug#631542: texlive-latex-extra: hyperxmp partial failure depending on how PDF is produced
Package: texlive-latex-extra
Version: 2009-10
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
The hyperxmp package adds some XML metadata to PDF files, providing the
document author, title, copyright information, etc in machine-parseable
format. The package documentation claims to support various methods of
producing a PDF from latex source (pdflatex, latex+dvips+ps2pdf,
latex+dvipdfm, xelatex, and lualatex). However, some of the metadata is lost
when using some of those methods.
Specifically, I've found that the pdfcopyright and pdflicenseurl fields are
lost when using latex+dvips+ps2pdf, while the pdfauthor and pdftitle fields
are retained. latex+dvipdfm fails to include any metadata. Only pdflatex
includes all four fields.
The metadata can be found in the PDF file using 'strings' and searching for
the lines between '<?xpacket begin="' and '<?xpacket end="w"?>. Or just grep
for the metadata information defined in the test file provided below.
-- Package-specific info:
If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report.
Please run your example with
(pdf)latex -recorder ...
(or any other program that supports -recorder) and send us the generated
file with the extension .fls, it lists all the files loaded during
the run and can easily explain problems induced by outdated files in
your home directory.
Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are
needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!
If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at
