Further to this, I have tools with which to extract XMP metadata from an uncompressed PDF file using Python and, from that, a stylesheet to extract embedded XML documents from the XMP that is freely available here:

I hope this also helps.

I tried adding XMP metadata under <fo:declarations>, but it doesn't
seem to work.

Does anybody have any idea on this?

I've used the Ibex XSL-FO engine to add XML metadata to a PDF document. I embed in the PDF's XMP the entire UBL document used to produce that PDF rendering of that UBL document. The stylesheets are here:

Check with each vendor's tool as to custom extensions with which to add XMP metadata. The facility is not part of the standard specification.

I hope this helps.
