Locating XMP packets
The mechanism for embedding XMP packets in a file is also described in detail in the Adobe XMP
specification mentioned above.
There are two distinct methods to locate XMP packets embedded in a file:
• Scan the complete file for the magic markers at the head and tail of a packet: this works for
any file format, but may possibly locate the wrong packet in case a composite document
contains multiple packets.
