CTAN Update: hyperxmp

On Sun, 1 May 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 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. The current version of hyperxmp can embed the following metadata as XMP: title, authors, primary author's title or position, metadata writer, subject, keywords, copyright, and license URL. hyperxmp currently embeds XMP only within PDF documents but is compatible with pdflatex, latex+dvips+ps2pdf, latex+dvipdfm, xelatex, and lualatex. Version 1.3 fixes a bug caused by the use of hyperref's "unicode" option, adds a new "pdfmetalang" option for specifying the language in which the metadata is written, cleans up some of the code, and updates much of the documentation.
