XMP Implementations

PDF

• LaTeX users may use the pdflatex macro.
• PdfLicenseManager is a Java-based GUI and command line program for embedding XMP with license information into PDFs.
  • PdfLicenseManager uses the iText java library, which may be easily incorporated into any Java tool that needs to do XMP embedding.
• CC PDF Converter is a free open source (GPL) program for creating PDFs with CC license.

JPEG

• We have a PHP tool/library for embedding XMP in JPEGs, useful in, e.g., web gallery programs. See the xmp/php-jpeg module in the cctools sourceforge subversion repository.
• JPEG-XMP are java-based programs for operating on jpegs to extract and embed XMP metadata.
• The PHP JPEG Metadata Toolkit is a php-based program for embedding and extracting XMP metadata for JPEGs.

Multiple formats

• License tagger is a cross-plateform small application to add license metadata in your files using liblicense.
• XMP Toolkit 4.1
• Exempi bundles the above two tools into one package, with modifications to make it build on Linux. It therefore allows reading/writing XMP metadata for various file formats, including PDF, MP3, JPEG, and PNG.
• Exiftool is a perl-based module for embedding and extracting Exif from multiple filetypes. This allows for using XMP in addition to other formats.
• XMP Manager A Ruby action for Nautilus which exposes and allows editing of XMP metadata.
• Raptor - Supposedly this can generate XMP somewhat, and can also parse it, if you grab the rdf/xml out of the <?xmp...> blocks for it. It's GPL / LGPL / Apache2 licensed so compatible with your code.
• XMP PHP Toolkit Extension - is a PHP5 extension (written in C++) including the Adobe XMP SDK. The main classes and functions from the Adobe XMP Toolkit are now availaible through PHP5. A 2.0 stable release is available under GPLv3 License, compatible with FreeBSD, Debian & Mac OSX
• Python XMP Toolkit - is a Python library allowing access to reading and writing of XMP in a variety of file formats.
