XMP embedding for pdflatex

Mike Linksvayer, June 22nd, 2004

Maarten Sneep has created a pdflatex macro for embedding XMP in PDF files generated from LaTeX source, the de facto standard for scientific documents. As Maarten’s documentation points out, one may obtain XMP suitable for embedding via choose license process.

We have a tech challenge calling for Creative Commons and XMP support in open source applications. Follow Maarten’s lead!

Update: The software above is available via CTAN: the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network. The package is called xmpincl (the second link in this post points to a CTAN mirror). Also of note, xmpincl is licensed under the CC-GNU GPL.

Dear Sir,

what is the latex source for cc-by?

I also would be interested in the latex source for the legalcode for cc-by, if it were to be made available. I would like to make a little sewn booklet explaining and including this licence.

I just use a simple font drawing:

I can manage to include the XMP information in the PDF file, but I can’t manage to view it in the Document properties inside Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Any idea of why this happens? Any solution?
