Antoine, You need to have the XMP plug-in installed to see the extended XML. Default setup only allows you to see User, Description, Date, Program, that kind of stuff. So you own custom XMP will remain hidden to the typical Reader user.

I can't remember - are both these invisible to acrobat (no way to access them through the gui)? Nothing is invisible to $ vi mypdf.pdf but I think he just wants it to be invisible in acrobat...
