I compile the following code

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperxmp} 
\usepackage[pdfa]{hyperref} 
\usepackage{kantlipsum}
\hypersetup{
    keeppdfinfo,
    pdftitle={test},
    pdfauthor={sdaf},
    pdfapart=1,
    pdfaconformance=B,
}
\begin{document}
\kant[1]
\end{document}

and somehow I get interesting results. enter image description here

I get the backtick at the beginning of the page. I need the variables in hypersetup to get rid of the warnings. When I disable the package hyperxmp it vanishes, when I remove the option pdfa it vanishes as well.

Honestly don't know how to get rid of this backtick. Following the old question didn't help either. I've share my log temporarily

  • well it is a bug in hyperxmp, so report it to the author. The alternative is to use the pdfmanagement https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/655531/2388 – Ulrike Fischer Jul 10 '23 at 10:12
  • Thx for the hint. I've tried to contact the author. Regarding DocumentMetadata I've found only. Reviewing the document I'm not clear if pdfmoddate and/or pdfcreationdate are supported. According to the documentation not really. But perhaps I've missed something. – LeO Jul 10 '23 at 11:54
  • the documentation for the xmp-metadata is in l3pdfmeta.pdf. It describes also how to set the dates (if you really want to change them. – Ulrike Fischer Jul 10 '23 at 12:15

I've asked the author of the package and his reply was:

Try loading hyperref before hyperxmp.

hyperxmp was written to hook into hyperref's argument-processing routines, which it does by rewriting some of them. When you load hyperref after hyperxmp, hyperref undoes all of hyperxmp's changes. Although hyperxmp takes great strides to function correctly in this case, every update to hyperref breaks something new in hyperxmp. I should probably just give up and issue an error message if the packages are loaded in the "wrong" order.

and running the code with

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[pdfa]{hyperref} 
\usepackage{hyperxmp} 
\usepackage{kantlipsum}
\hypersetup{
    keeppdfinfo,
    pdftitle={test},
    pdfauthor={sdaf},
    pdfapart=1,
    pdfaconformance=B,
}
\begin{document}
    \kant[1]
\end{document}

fixes the problem. Thx for pointing out where to source of the error might be and thx for making it clear what solution should be applied!
