Package hyperxmp Error about asmeconf HOT 5 CLOSED

A recent update to the hyperxmp package (5.12 2023-09-10) has introduced the requirement to load hyperxmp after hyperref. The earlier versions of hyperxmp did not enforce a specific order. This update is likely not in Overleaf's version of TeXLive, given their update cycle (I'd estimate it will appear in Overleaf during summer or fall 2024).

I'll get a fix into CTAN later today.

Fantastic news, thank you very much for this!

Also, if you are running an up-to-date latex installation (as you appear to be), the document metadata are better handled by putting these lines before \documentclass[...]{asmeconf}

\DocumentMetadata{%
pdfstandard=A-3b,% A-2b, A-2u, A-3b, or A-3u
pdfversion=1.7,
lang=en-US,
}

and then omitting the pdf-a options from \documentclass.

This change will also IMMEDIATELY resolve the hyperxmp issue you are seeing.

It does indeed! I have just added this to my .tex document, and it now compiles without any errors. Thanks so much for this.

The update has been posted to CTAN, and it should appear in the mirror sites within a few days.
