Could you try including this in your preamble:
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{pdfcreator=XeLaTeX with hyperref}
and compile and see if the resulting PDF is sufficient for your purposes.
Section 3.7 at
https://www.tug.org/applications/hyperref/manual.html
explains these options in full.

Dear XeTex,
I think my original email was not so clear. ArXiv.org of course
accepts papers generated using LaTeX, but they want to be given the
source files (.tex files, etc) rather than a pdf file. However, they
apparently sometimes make exceptions to this rule if the pdf file was
generated using XeTeX/XeLaTeX rather than LaTeX. That is, they *may*
in at least some cases accept a pdf generated by XeLaTeX, but will
*not* accept a pdf generated by LaTeX.
Therefore, if it is not too much trouble, I would like the metadata in
my XeLaTeX/xdvipdfmx generated pdf file to clearly indicate that it
was generated by XeLaTeX (*not* by LaTeX). Would any one have time for
this?
Many thanks in advance,
Dan

Dear XeTeX,
I have tried uploading a paper in pdf format that I typeset using
XeLaTeX to arXiv.org. However, it was later removed because it
"appeared to be PostScript/PDF generated from TeX source". I wrote to
arXiv-moderation, strongly arguing my case for using XeLaTeX rather
than LaTeX. They responded saying "In order to approve such a request
we'd have to have a PDF which includes it's XeTeX nature within the
pdf properties...".
When I typeset my paper using xelatex.exe, an xdv file is generated
which contains this in the metadata:
\Creator(LaTeX with hyperref pacakge)\Author()\Producer(XeTeX 0.99991)
Later I use xdvipdfmx.exe to generate a pdf file. It contains this
information in the metadata:
Creator: LaTeX with hyperref package
Producer: xdvipdfmx (20140317)
So although the producer fields provides evidence that I am using
XeLaTeX, the creator field erroneously implies that I have typeset
using LaTeX. Hence, there will be a high probability that my paper
will either be removed by an automated server at arXiv.org or a human
administrator.
I realize that I could possibly hand edit the xdv file or use a
metadata editor to edit the pdf file. But I would rather not do this.
I would rather work transparently, not surreptitiously changing the
metadata of files.
Would it be possible that some qualified person could correct the
creator metadata output of XeLaTeX? I am currently using xelatex from
TeXLive 2014 running on Windows. Here is the first line from the log
file:
This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.99991 (TeX Live 2014/W32TeX)
(preloaded format=xelatex 2014.9.20) 20 SEP 2014 07:16
Many thanks in advance,
Dan
