Input
A PDFFile, either with no metadata and along with metadata that presumably corresponds to the PDF file,
or a PDFfile with embedded metadata.
Processing
If the Embed option is used, the metadata information is embedded directly into the PDFFile as binary data.
This does not change the way the PDFis viewed by any PDFviewer.
If the Extract option is used, metadata present inside of the PDFfile is extracted from it. If no metadata is
embedded, the task generates an error W3976.
Output
The PDFfile with embedded metadata (the metadata is not deleted from the PDFFile on extraction, so this
task will always output a PDFwith embedded metadata).
Properties
General Tab
l Extract metadata into PDFjob 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 PDFjob 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
filewill also becompliant.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog" on page663.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be ignored, and
the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file without any modification. Any
initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from running as a whole, and output tasks will
not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to overwrite the default behaviors.
