I have tried TIF, PNG and PDF with no luck. TIF and PNG generate a blank XMP file, and PDF doesn't generate a XMP file at all.

Is it possible to post files on this forum?

No. My "post a sample" was shorthand for "put a sample file on the web somewhere and post its URL". Sorry for my ambiguity.


I can't remember where I came across XMP, and haven't played with it much. It seems to extract some metadata that "identify -verbose" doesn't, eg "dc:creator". (dc = Dublin Core?)

If a metadata field occurs in "identify -verbose", it can be extracted with, for example,

convert -format %[xmp:CreatorTool] info:-

but dc:creator etc can't be extracted this way.
