I am not sure about PDF yet, but in the world of EPUB there are some potential possibilities to include information about permission for TDM.
In my opinion 4. and 2. would make much sense. But I am new to this topic so if there are other options I am glad to learn.
Edit after actually doing some reasearch: In the TDMRep document it is said that the implementation of metadata in HTML files is possible. So as I see, option 4 is already recommended for HTML content.
Would this also apply to OPF files in EPUBs which are explicit XML files?
The integration of TDMRep properties in EPUB has been requested by several publishers and the discussed is starting.
The integration of similar information in ONIX has been done; at least for the tdm-reservation aspect. A message was posted on the CG public mailing list on Nov.15, 2023 on the subject. We'll a more information on this Github space after discussing with EDItEUR.
The integration of TDMRep properties in EPUB is now ready as a written proposal here (this is a temporary url). It is like your proposal 2.
Support for EPUB 2 and EPUB 3 has been aded to the specification.
What about embedding TDM reservation informations in a embedded (out of website) context ?
Do this standard may be extended to other media and file format than the web ? And how ?
Is it best to insert a JSON as a comment in an image (JPG) or text document (PDF) document, or use a standardized keyword and an URL ?
