Thanks for the reply, Jonathan.

What I have discovered is that xdvipdfmx inserts two pdfproducers in a
file (xdvipdfmx and the other set in the source file) in the final PDF
document. dvipdfmx only includes dvipdfmx as producer in the PDF field.

I don't know whether users should be able to change the producer field
in the final PDF document, but xdvipdfmx should generate only one
producer in the PDF document fields.

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo
