LaTeX PDF management bundle

Version: 0.97a, 2026-04-21

This package is used to load the PDF management code of LaTeX.

The PDF management code offers backend independent interfaces to central PDF dictionaries, tools to create annotations, outlines, form Xobjects, form fields, to embed files, and to handle PDF standards.

The code is currently provided as independent package. It is automatically loaded if a document uses \DocumentMetadata. It can also be loaded as a package. At a later stage it will be integrated into the LaTeX kernel (or in parts into permanent support packages).

Feedback

Bug reports and feedback are welcome and should be made at https://github.com/latex3/pdfresources
