PDF Metadata | File-ID

Hi,

for my application it is important to recognize each pdf i have worked with.

First: My idea was to add a custom meta field in the header like "/CustomID(123123)"
Unfortunately you only support getting the meta tags, it should be easy to implement a setterMethod for the meta tags.

But better would be the support for the official xmp meta tags.
www.adobe.com/devnet/xmp.html

With this it would be very easy to detect wheter you already worked with the pdf or not.

yes, we not support xmp currently.
set meta data?
That's an good idea.
but there are no recommands for meta datas before.

I am just pushing this up as i need to set meta data very urgently.
I need to identify each PDF, i cant use the name or the md5 hash as they are about to change.

I would be very happy to set the same meta data you can get with the getMeta(String) command.

In that case i can set the producer name to my application an put an id after that.

Like this where 142 would be my ID and everything would be fine since i can now identify each PDF.

So, is it possible to add that in the next release or when do you plan to think about adding metadata?

Thanks, Nils.

I'm forwarding your request to dev team: they will check email quicker than the forum.

That features will be implemented in Premium version in 10 days/2 weeks.

Hope you could wait.

Great, that are good news.
This prevents me from including an extra library just for the meta data modification.
