I've just released ExifTool 5.88 which will read and write this IPTC trailer information. It does a quick seek
to the end of the file to check for the information to avoid slowing things down if it doesn't exist.
This technique for storing IPTC information is known as the AXS File Concatination Protocol (AFCP), and ExifTool
will look for this information in JPEG images.
