Create Metadata
Creates all the metadata that is either the result of the merging between a data file and a PlanetPress
Connect document, or the information about a PDFFile.
Input
Either a data file in any supported Emulation, or a PDFFile.
Processing
If a data file and document are selected, the metadata is generated by merging the data file and document
and retrieving only the metadata generated by this merge. The Metadata levels will reflect those defined in
the document, including separation for Group and Document, metadata fields, etc.
l In PDF emulation, the size and orientation attributes for each page are set in the metadata. In all other
emulations, those attributes remain blank.
l In XML emulation, the metadata file is always created as if the user had specified the "Second Level"
parameter in PlanetPress Connect.
If the "Do not use document (passthrough)"option is used, no PlanetPress Connect document is used. The
metadata will contain a single Job, Group and Document level, as many data page levels as there are
records (pages in a PDF, XMLlevels, etc)in the file, and one page level per data page.
Technical
In PlanetPress Connect, this step is equivalent to a &metamode variable value of 1.
Output
The original data file is output, along with the newly generated metadata file. Job infos are not changed.
Properties
General Tab
l Documents: Select a specific PlanetPress Connect document you want all the jobs metadata
information generated for.
