XMP Meta Data¶

Some PDF standards require an embedded XMP meta data file. CoCoTeX provides two ways to do that: If the TeX run does not find a xmp file that has the same basename as the .tex document, it generates one from the data in the tpMeta environment. If there is a .xmp file (either because it was there from the beginning, or it was generated during a previous tex run), it includes that one. If the xmp file is to be generated by the converter, make sure to use either one of the the attached templates (see below) and include the document specific meta data in place of the comment

<!-- INSERT METADATA HERE AND REMOVE COMMENT -->

.

Important: Don't remove anything in that template, especially not the PIs at the beginning and end, and the blank spaces at the bottom of the template!

Also be cautious where to use rdf:Bag, rdf:Alt and rdf:Seq!

The available XML tags for meta data are described below in the Section "Meta Data Tags"

XMP Templates¶

PDF/UA-1¶

• template-ua.xmp

for PDF/X-3:2003¶

• tempate-x.xmp

Meta Data Tags¶

Author¶

is a list of the document's main authors or edtiors, one per line:

<dc:creator>
  <rdf:Seq>
    <rdf:li>Firstname Lastname</rdf:li>
    <rdf:li>Firstname Lastname</rdf:li>
    ...
  </rdf:Seq>
</dc:creator>

Document Title¶

There can be more than one document title for various languages. The displayed title (e.g. in the pdf viewer window's top line) depends on the selected system language

<dc:title>
  <rdf:Alt>
    <rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">Default title</rdf:li>
  </rdf:Alt>
</dc:title>

Publisher¶

<dc:publisher>
  <rdf:Bag>
    <rdf:li>Publisher Name</rdf:li>
  </rdf:Bag>
</dc:publisher>

Chapter authors/Contributors¶

<dc:contributor>
  <rdf:Bag>
    <rdf:li>Firstname Lastname</rdf:li>
    <rdf:li>Firstname Midname Lastname</rdf:li>
    ...
  </rdf:Bag>
</dc:contributor>

Abstract¶

Like dc:title, dc:description allows multiple entries for different languages.

<dc:description>
  <rdf:Alt>
    <rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">...</rdf:li>
  </rdf:Alt>
</dc:description>

Keywords¶

<dc:subject>
  <rdf:Bag>
    <rdf:li>keyword 1</rdf:li>
    <rdf:li>keyword 2</rdf:li>
    ....
  </rdf:Bag>
</dc:subject>

Other¶

If you must, you can alter the values of <pdf:Producer> and <xmp:CreatorTool>, where pdf:Producer is the tool that generated the PDF, and xmp:CreatorTool is the Tool with which the original manuscript was created prior to any conversions or transformations.

The values of xmp:ModifyDate and xmp:CreateDate are generated and overwritten during the tex run by the ltpdfa package, so you can leave those fields as they are.
