Hi :-) I am trying to switch from LaTeX to ConTeXt and I'd like to add licensing information to the generated PDF, just like what the "hyperxmp" package would do for LaTeX. Something like this: \setupinteraction[ title={My Title}, author={Tobias Mueller}, keyword={foo bar baz}, pdfcopyright={This work is licensed to the public under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike 3.0 Germany License.}, pdflicenseurl={http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/de/} ] \starttext Hello, World! \stoptext Thanks! Tobi

you can include XMP files with one line: \setupbackend[xmpfile=metadata.xmp] Of course, the XMP needs to be generated beforehand. I was using the export functionality at http://wiki.creativecommons.org for this, but maybe Context can do the conversion for you already? Hth Philipp

Something like this:

\starttext Hello, World! \stoptext

you can include XMP files with one line:

\setupbackend[xmpfile=metadata.xmp]

You can also use some low level commands here (with the risk that names change or they vanish some time). The risk in this case is very low. Read the documentation about XMP from Adobe and you will exactly know why. :-D Add something like this after \setupinteraction|\setupbackend (they also add info to the XMP blob). \startluacode -- keep the order -- mark as copyrighted material lpdf.injectxmpinfo("xml://rdf:RDF","xmpRights:MarkedTrue",false) -- url for copyright information lpdf.insertxmpinfo("xml://rdf:Description/xmpRights:Marked","xmpRights:WebStatement http://www.yoururl.com",false) \stopluacode The adding is also limited to a predefined list of values. See lpdf-xmp.lua ('mapping') for the details. Best wishes, Peter

Hey Philipp. I just tried this using an incorrect filename to the xmpfile parameter and my document still compiled without error, so I'm wondering if this setup actually does anything at all or if its simply ignored? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

in my case it does as I can see the XMP information embedded in the PDF. Watch out for a blob that looks like this:

...

...
stream

<?xpacket begin="ï»¿" id="vkuuxfithomqjnyxqsdpagdu"?><x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/"><rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">

... This should contain your metadata if used correctly, else some generic stuff. Context is just habitually a bit terse wrt error messages. Hth Philipp

Hey folks :) Thanks for the replies. Just reading up on the archives. On Wed, 2012-08-01 at 09:21 +0200, Philipp Gesang wrote:

uh. Well. As the other mail said, I could also inject my XMP data directly. I could also probably use tools like cat, sed and grep to inject my XMP data into the PDF. But all that seems way more complicated and error prone than just telling the document processor what license I want to use and it taking care about the details. So for the record: Am I assuming correctly that I cannot do something easy to use (yet)? I.e. such as pdfcopyright={This work is licensed to the public ...}, pdflicenseurl={http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/de/} Cheers, Tobi
