Input
A PDF File, either with no Metadata and along with Metadata that presumably corresponds to
the PDF file, or a PDF file with embedded Metadata.
Processing
If the Embed option is used, the Metadata information is embedded directly into the PDF File as
binary data. This does not change the way the PDF is viewed by any PDF viewer.
If the Extract option is used, Metadata present inside of the PDF file is extracted from it. If no
Metadata is embedded, the task generates an error: W3976.
Output
The PDF file with embedded Metadata (the Metadata is not deleted from the PDF File on
extraction, so this task will always output a PDF with embedded Metadata).
Task properties
General Tab
l
Extract Metadata into PDF job file: the Metadata is extracted from the current data file
(which is assumed to be a PDF file in which Metadata has been previously embedded),
and it becomes the current Metadata from this point on, overwriting any current Metadata
file that may already be set.
l
Embed Metadata from PDF job file: the current Metadata file is inserted in the current
data file, which is assumed to be a PDF file. If the original PDF is PDF/X or PDF/A
compliant, the resulting PDF file will also be compliant.
On Error Tab
For a description of the options on the On Error tab see "Using the On Error tab" on page88.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a text area (Task comments) that lets
you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with
the OK button, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
