Create Metadata
Creates all the metadata that is either the result of the merging between a data file and a
PlanetPress Design 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 Design.
