I would like to add the ORCID to the metadata of documents I write. Is this possible with PDF? Is there a standard way to include it in TeX?

The nicest way would be if there way a standard TeX command so that the compiled PDF would automatically have this information. But if it is possible to add this after the PDF was compiled, it would be nice, too.

The simplest way to add the ORCID to the TeX code is adding a comment

% ORCID of the author: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-6517-1690

But how do other people add their ORCID to papers? Is there a recommendation how to do it, so that scripts / search engines can use the information?

Academicons has TeX package at https://ctan.org/pkg/academicons which is supported by ORCiD. You may also download SVG or PNG icons from ORCiD website, https://orcid.org/trademark-and-id-display-guidelines

1. 
   

   Add following in Document SetUp section of tex file. Second line will define ORCiD recommended color for icon.

   
   
   

   usepackage{academicons}
   
   definecolor{orcidlogocol}{HTML}{A6CE39}
   
   

   
   


2. 
   

   Add following where you like to add ORCiD icon and URL

   
   
   

   item href{https://orcid.org/0000-0000-0000-0000}{textcolor{orcidlogocol}{aiOrcid} hspace{2mm} orcid.org/0000-0000-0000-0000}
   
   

   
   

ORCiD recommends hex: #A6CE39 for icon color. hspace{2mm} is optional, i.e., to give custom space margin between icon and adjacent text.

You can read documentation at https://github.com/diogo-fernan/academicons for details on other icons.

One unresolved issue is to change icon color to ORCiD specified green color and keep it still hyperlinked.

From the linked related answer: Springer picks up ORCID from LaTeX in the following format: Add it as the last line of your address. NOTE: this is in the header, but not wrapped by hypersetup{}

You can use the following template of Springer journals with some additions
where I make hyperlink to the image of ORCID in author.
