General ⇒ hyperref | Wrong PDF Meta Data

[michaelmiat]

Could you please help me with the following problem:

I am creating a pdf document using DVI => PS => PDF. I want to adapt the properties of my PDF (see last line of source code). But instead of doing it like below, it creates the following:

• author: user name of my computer ("michael" instead of "Michael M")
• pdftitle: the file directory of the last .eps-file in the document is taken as the pdf title ("/home/..../xyz.pdf" is the name of the pdf instead of "HVAC System for Hospital")
• pdfkeywords: They are correct! ("Simulation HVAC System")

Thank you very much for any suggestions!

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside,titlepage]{scrbook}
\usepackage[a4paper, left=2.5cm, right=2.5cm, top=2.5cm, bottom=2.5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{eurosym}
\usepackage{english}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{amstext}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{prettyref}
\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage[bottom,hang]{footmisc}
\usepackage[absolute]{textpos}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{units}
\usepackage[intoc]{nomencl}
\usepackage{fixltx2e}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage[pdfauthor={Michael M}, pdftitle={HVAC System for Hospital}, pdfkeywords={Simulation HVAC System}, breaklinks=true]{hyperref}

It is recommended to set those meta data subsequently by the \hypersetup command. If that doesn't help, prepare a minimal example.

Hi!
I too have this problem.
This is because of gnuplot.
Until I found a good solution. Only here it is: https://www.sergioller.com/2011-07-07-g ... f-title.md.

Please, tell me in this topic if you solve this problem.

Sorry for my English ).

If your image file EPS was created using Gnuplot, you can try this. Open it with any text editor (I use vim). In this file, find the line:

Code: Select all

SDict begin [
  /Title (2.eps)
  /Subject (gnuplot plot)
  /Creator (gnuplot 4.4 patchlevel 3)
  /Author (d)
%  /Producer (gnuplot)
%  /Keywords ()
  /CreationDate (Tue Jul 17 00:14:33 2012)
  /DOCINFO pdfmark
end

Comment out the line inside the structure begin...end. It works!
