Re: [libextractor] PDF from latex

[Damien Cassou]

Thank you very much. However, this does not help me much because I do
not have the control over the original LaTeX files. They are already
produced and I don't have the sources. I just find it strange that
hyperref does not use the LaTeX metadate per default.

Thank you
