Re: [libextractor] PDF from latex

[Christian Grothoff]

Simple -- your \author and \title don't really show up in the PDF metadata.  
You need to do this (after the last exsting usepackage):

\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{backref,
  pdftitle=A title,
  pdfauthor=Christian Grothoff,
  pdfkeywords=foo bar,
  pdfsubject=Computer Science,
  colorlinks=true}


Best regards,

Christian
