pdfmanagement is too old error

[u-fischer]

I get the error

! Package zugferd Error: Your version of \LaTeX 's PDF management is too old.

because zugferd tests the version of pdfmanagement-testphase.sty, but this package is gone, the package is now pdfmanagement.sty

\RequirePackage{pdfmanagement}
%\ExpandArgs{cc}\let{ver@pdfmanagement-testphase.sty}{ver@pdfmanagement-init.sty}
\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{zugferd}
\begin{document}
blub
\end{document}

Thanks, I will try to prepare a new upload tomorrow.

This still doesn't work correctly. If \DocumentMetadata is used, it fails because neither pdfmanagement.sty not pdfmanagement-testphase.sty are loaded but `pdfmanagement-init.sty:

\DocumentMetadata{
	pdfstandard=a-3b,
	lang=de,	
  pdfversion=1.7,
    uncompress
}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{zugferd}

\begin{document}
abc
\end{document}

Personally I would avoid so complicated tests. The pdfmanagement is tied to the LaTeX format, so require LaTeX 2024-11-01.

And you can use the \IfPDFManagementActiveTF test, which exist since 2021 (the variant \IfPDFManagementActiveF is newer).

Thanks - I found that one last week and did not yet manage to create proper test files yet, as you know there are still some things on the list. Will reopen to keep that info there.

I sadly can't simply require a newer format (also would prefer that … ) as we have a bunch of users who rely on old LaTeX formats for reasons of internal compliance and can't update … That's the whole reason why the tests are there.
