CTAN update: pdfx
Date: March 11, 2019 7:12:03 PM CET
Ross Moore submitted an update to the
pdfx
package.
Version number: 1.6.3
License type: lppl
Summary description: PDF/X and PDF/A support for pdfTeX, LuaTeX and
XeTeX
Announcement text:
From version 1.6, the pdfx package has been adapted to changes in LaTeX made in 2018, in regards to input encodings, and to the newly established hosting of Color Profiles for TeXLive due to licensing constraints. Other additions include support for language tags for the PDF overall and for individual Metadata field elements, as well as extending the range of Metadata fields supported. With version 1.6.3, babel-supported languages using UTF-8 encoding should now work properly. More useful CMap files for text-extraction are being produced from glyph names and use of combining accents, being placed after the base glyph. The new \pdfomitcharset primitive (added in 2019) is supported, now enabling valid PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3 documents to be produced whatever fonts are being used.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfx More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pdfx
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Manfred Lotz We are supported by the TeX user groups. Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html .
