General ⇒ Longtable and PDF metainfo problem

[bmn]

Hi there!
I have started to build a TeXniC project for a c.v. "template". I managed to solve all problems I encountered - more or less elegantly - except two:

1. I would like to enter author, title and subject etc information in the main .tex file so that this is written as meta information to the PDF upon generating it. I have tried \author, \pdfauthor and \pdfinfo, none of that seems to work.

2. This might be a tough one:
The way I built this project is that I have one .sty file which contains the following (only the relevant stuff):

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{longtable}
\renewcommand\section{\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@}
    {-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}
    {2.3ex \@plus.2ex}

\newenvironment{envtable}[1]

\begin{longtable}
      {@{} p{.23\textwidth} | @{\hskip .02\textwidth} p{.30\textwidth} | @{\hskip .02\textwidth} p{.35\textwidth} }}
  {\end{longtable}\vskip 0.5cm}

So an environment "envtable" containing a longtable is defined. Now I have a main .tex file in which I load packages, refer to the .sty and then I write the actual text, for example:

Code: Select all

\begin{envtable}{tablename}
first column & second column & third column
\end{envtable}

Now the thing is that in the resulting PDF file the text in the tables appears like it would in MS Word with the setting "justified" instead of "aligned left". The result are ugly big spaces between some words and TeXniC also reports 4 underfull boxes. I have tried -lots- of things to make this go away The standard parameter for flushed-left text in longtables, manually flush-left in the .tex, trying to see if the problem is caused by bad hyphenation and some more. I simply can't get it to work.

I would greatly appreciate any help with these two problems. Thanks!

At first, i may remark that such completely different problems should be posted in two separate threads.

For the first problem there is the simple answer to take a look at the documentation of the hyperref package.

Thanks, apparently I did use the right commands but with wrong syntax....
The PDF problem is solved now. Since there is only the longtables issue left I don't think it is necessary to start another thread.

No suggestions?
