[Tex/LaTex] Problem with xmpincl

pdf-axmp

I get the following error message:

! Undefined control sequence.
\xmpinclReadln -><pdf:Producer>\xmpProducer 
                                       </pdf:Producer> 
l.47 \includexmp{pdfa1b}

when running this:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{xmpincl}
\includexmp{pdfa-1b} 
\begin{document}
Hello, world!
\end{document}

xmpincl is not able to include the file pdfa-1b as it is available from here:

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdfx

The actual example is somewhat larger and taken from here:

http://support.river-valley.com/wiki/index.php?title=Generating_PDF/A_compliant_PDFs_from_pdftex

but the error msg is the same..

I need this to generate a pdfa-1b compliant output..

Any help?

The argument to \includexmp should be a file name (without the .xmp extension), modelled on the license.xmp file found in the package distribution:

The file pdfa-1b.xmp that's part of the pdfx distribution doesn't set the Producer:

Copy it in your working directory and modify it (with a different name).

Another strategy, of course, is to define \xmpProducer and the other needed macros appearing in pdfa-1b.xmp before loading it:

\usepackage{xmpincl}

\providecommand{\xmpProducer}{LaTeX2e}
\providecommand{\xmpOrg}{An organization}
% ...
\includexmp{pdfa-1b}
