Metadata Tools
PlanetPress Suite version 7 includes a complete set of metadata-related functionality, which can be referred to as Metadata
Tools. These tools can be used to generate metadata, retrieve or define metadata elements, and build the metadata structure.
PlanetPress Design Metadata Tools
Using PlanetPress Design version 7, one can:
l Generate metadata for any given sample datafile.
l Graphically retrieve the value of a metadata attribute or field for use in any design object.
l Define documents and groups using any condition.
l Define custom metadata fields.
l Manipulate Metadata with PlanetPress Talk commands.
Following is a description of the PlanetPress Design Metadata tools which allows to perform the above tasks.
Metadata Generation using Data Capture with PlanetPress Printer
The Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS) allows end-users to print directly to PlanetPress Design from any Windows application,
by using the familiar File|Print option. At the other end, PlanetPress Design can capture the incoming stream and convert it
internally into a PDF file along with its metadata. By default, capturing a document input using a PlanetPress Printer will gen-
erate a PDF along with its metadata.
Metadata Generation and Refresh without using PlanetPress Printer
It is possible to generate or refresh metadata for any given sample datafile by using the Refresh Metadata option available
when right-clicking on the Metadata Fields folder found in the Document Structure Window. For example, metadata can be gen-
erated this way for a Line Printer sample datafile captured using an LPD Queue Input.
