hyperref and beamer: Meta Data | 'pdftitle' not Working
- I want to generate a
beamerpresentation and I want some meta data in the PDF document. - I therefore use a basic template but the
pdftitletag is not recognized (not shown in the PDF properties, see the German "Titel" in the screenshot). - This seems simple enough - I am afraid, that I do not see the obvious.
documentclass{beamer}
usepackage{hyperref}
hypersetup{
pdftitle = {pdftitle}, % <-- Missing in PDF
pdfauthor = {pdfauthor},
pdfsubject = {pdfsubject},
pdfkeywords = {keyword1 keyword2},
}
begin{document}

By default beamer tries to figure out the pdftitle automatically from the title command (similarly the pdfauthor is set from the author command). In the example there is no title and author.
The automatic is implemented in a way that pdftitle is always overwritten with the information (or absence of information) from title at begin{document}. If title has not been set at that point, the pdftitle will be empty. In particular that means that title needs to be set before begin{document} to have any influence on the metadata. If it is issued later, the metadata does not change. The implementation for pdfauthor is slightly different, it is overwritten at the point where author is executed. In particular the pdfauthor is not overwritten if there is no author command.
Option 1 Provide title and author information before begin{document}.
title{pdftitle}
author{pdfauthor}
% before begin{document}!
Option 2 Disable the automatic generation of PDF metadata from title and author by setting the class option
usepdftitle=false
and manage the metadata on your own.
