/*
* Import XMP from PDF:
* Retrieve the XMP metadata from an imported PDF document and write all
* document-level XMP metadata to the output PDF
*
* Maintain existing XMP metadata when processing documents: Read the XMP
* stream from the imported document with the pCOS path "/Root/Metadata",
* create a PVF file from the XMP and feed the document-level metadata to the
* output document.
*
* Required software: PDFlib+PDI/PPS 9
* Required data: PDF document with XMP metadata
