hyperref and beamer: Meta Data | 'pdftitle' not Working












4
















  • I want to generate a beamer presentation and I want some meta data in the PDF document.

  • I therefore use a basic template but the pdftitle tag is not recognized (not shown in the PDF properties, see the German "Titel" in the screenshot).

  • This seems simple enough - I am afraid, that I do not see the obvious.



documentclass{beamer}



usepackage{hyperref}

hypersetup{

    pdftitle = {pdftitle}, % <-- Missing in PDF

    pdfauthor = {pdfauthor},

    pdfsubject = {pdfsubject},

    pdfkeywords = {keyword1 keyword2},

}



begin{document}



begin{frame}

    frametitle{Test}

    Test

end{frame}



end{document}

By default beamer tries to figure out the pdftitle automatically from the title command (similarly the pdfauthor is set from the author command). In the example there is no title and author.



The automatic is implemented in a way that pdftitle is always overwritten with the information (or absence of information) from title at begin{document}. If title has not been set at that point, the pdftitle will be empty. In particular that means that title needs to be set before begin{document} to have any influence on the metadata. If it is issued later, the metadata does not change. The implementation for pdfauthor is slightly different, it is overwritten at the point where author is executed. In particular the pdfauthor is not overwritten if there is no author command.



Option 1 Provide title and author information before begin{document}.



title{pdftitle}

author{pdfauthor}

% before begin{document}!


Option 2 Disable the automatic generation of PDF metadata from title and author by setting the class option



usepdftitle=false


and manage the metadata on your own.

    @Dr.ManuelKuehner Indeed, the pdftitle is set in the command beamer@firstminutepatches at or shortly before begin{document}. If you issue title after begin{document} it is too late. pdfauthor is different. It is really set at the moment you execute author.

How to label and detect the document text images

Image
1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
