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.
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in the Pro-
cess area.
Metadata Fields Management
The Metadata Fields Management task can be used to add new fields into your Metadata, either for
every element or through conditions.
For more information about Metadata see "Metadata" on page67.
Note: This task will automatically loop through the Metadata and repeat its action for each of
your Metadata's datapages. This task should not be placed after a Metadata Sequencer.
Input
Any data file with accompanying Metadata.
Processing
Fields are added, removed, modified, etc, according to the actions defined in the task properties. If the
field is present in a level that repeats (for example, the data page level), this task loops so that the
action may take place on each of the occurrences of that level.
Updating all nodes
For a given Metadata Field Management action, all nodes of a given level might be updated with a New
Field value. To accommodate this, all Metadata/data selection functions accept a wildcard parameter
"?", indicating the function operates on all nodes (not just one) of a given level. See: "Data selections"
on page49.
Limitations
l
The name of the Metadata field to add must adhere to these syntax rules: start with a letter, fol-
lowed by zero or more letters, numbers, underscore or dash. The name is not case-sensitive.
l
Metadata Fields Management actions on the page level are not possible since the entire task
execution is based on the data page node.
