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.

YA sci-fi/fantasy/horror book about a kid that has to overcome a lot of trials

Image
8 0 I'd like to make a disclaimer that I remember very little about this book or when I read it (I think I read it sometime in the late 90's or early 2000's), so it'll probably be difficult to figure out what it is, but it's bothered me on occasion for a few years. I want to say that it's from the 90's, but it could be later or much earlier than that. I really only remember bits and pieces of it, primarily the beginning. It starts out in the woods, where someone is running away from/stumbles upon a cult ritual. The cult members are wearing red cloaks, and I think that they catch the person and kill them. The main part of the book starts with a kid moving in to his uncle's(?) house. Aside from this I really can't remember much, but I think at one point the kid navigates a maze...
