Dear XeTeX, I have tried uploading a paper in pdf format that I typeset using XeLaTeX to arXiv.org. However, it was later removed because it "appeared to be PostScript/PDF generated from TeX source". I wrote to arXiv-moderation, strongly arguing my case for using XeLaTeX rather than LaTeX. They responded saying "In order to approve such a request we'd have to have a PDF which includes it's XeTeX nature within the pdf properties...".
When I typeset my paper using xelatex.exe, an xdv file is generated which contains this in the metadata: \Creator(LaTeX with hyperref pacakge)\Author()\Producer(XeTeX 0.99991) Later I use xdvipdfmx.exe to generate a pdf file. It contains this information in the metadata: Creator: LaTeX with hyperref package Producer: xdvipdfmx (20140317) So although the producer fields provides evidence that I am using XeLaTeX, the creator field erroneously implies that I have typeset using LaTeX. Hence, there will be a high probability that my paper will either be removed by an automated server at arXiv.org or a human administrator. I realize that I could possibly hand edit the xdv file or use a metadata editor to edit the pdf file. But I would rather not do this. I would rather work transparently, not surreptitiously changing the metadata of files. Would it be possible that some qualified person could correct the creator metadata output of XeLaTeX? I am currently using xelatex from TeXLive 2014 running on Windows. Here is the first line from the log file: This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.99991 (TeX Live 2014/W32TeX) (preloaded format=xelatex 2014.9.20) 20 SEP 2014 07:16 Many thanks in advance, Dan -----please ignore the following----- Dear arXiv-moderation, -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
