Cannot inject XMP into PDF?

Thank you very much for your great work on XMP Toolkit.
I have seen several related questions in this forum, but have not found clear answers.
I am trying to store simple metadata (name, value pair) in PDF files.
XMP Toolkit 5.1.2 works great for PDF files that already have XMP.
However, testing with xmpcommand, I have found that I cannot inject XMP into many PDF files (version 1.1 - 1.4).
I guess XMP Toolkit cannot inject XMP into PDF files that don't already have XMP.
Is this true?
If so, are there any workarounds? Are there a separate library or tool to inject XMP into files without XMP?
Any advice shall be appreciated.
Nao

One more question regarding to this: Can we use Acrobat SDK to inject XMP into a PDF file?
Acrobat SDK is capable of injecting XMP into a PDF file.
- Does it require paid version of Acrobat (Standard or Professional) to add XMP? Or can it do it with free Adobe Reader?
- Does Acrobat or Reader application need to be running, while we add XMP?
Thank you,

Cannot insert pages into PDFs after signed with a digital signature in adobe 9

Is there any workaround that allows me to insert additional pages into a SIGNED pdf?
Background:
Author of a form create a form that needs multiple signatures and pages appended and converts to PDF for signing. Person 1 signs it, and sends it to person 2. Person 2 needs to include additional documentation and inserts the pages before signing.
In the new version, I noticed that it changes the document security which may prevent the insert after you sign it. How do I disable this?

Hi Bob,
You may not like the answer, but it cannot be disabled. In previous versions, when you added a page it invalidated the signature. Starting with Acrobat 9, once the PDF file is signed you can no longer make changes that effect the content of the core PDF. The change was made to protect the integrity of the signature. You can still add comments, but (without getting too geeky) comments are not part of the core PDF like pages are, they live in a separate level. Also, you can still add form data, but like comments, what you type into a form field is not part of the core PDF.
The bottom line is, we made the change to protect the integrity of the signture, and the signature protects the integrity of the document. Thus, changes to the document are no longer allowed in signed files.

Acrobat 8.3 cannot add attachment into PDF - Windows 7 only

We have several users with Acrobat 8.3.0 Std/Pro on Windows XP machines and on Windows 7 64bit machines...
One of the users is having an issue when trying to add an attachment to the PDF file...
Example: Opens a PDF, clicks the Paper clip icon in the lower left side of the program, clicks Add and selects a file.
For Windows XP, it adds the file into the attachment sub-window, but for Windows 7 it errors out with these two application log events:

Is this an issue with the combination of Windows 7 64bit & Acrobat 8.3?

AA8 is not certified for Win7 and I have never heard of anyone successful on getting AA8 to work on Win7, 64-bit. Several have been successful on the 32-bit version. Potential problems can still be expected. To be successful, it is best to update to the latest AA8 version.

How do you embed/inject xmp metadata into a mpeg 2 video file?

Im looking to add keywords and descriptions to original file (raw MPEG-2) and have the metadata stick when i go to the transcoding process and batch convert the orginal file to either a wmv and flash file. how can i achive this? what tools are available ? and or is this a custom job? any info and or programmers looking to test this im open to all the help i can get.

Yeah I kind of figured that. I've been trying various ways of trying to batch inject metadata into video files and thought I would start with the master file but because of the limitations the raw digitized mpg 2 video file has. In that case I have yet to find a transcoding program that will batch out various formats and read a xmp side car file to inject the metadata into the outputted file (does anyone know if Adobe media encoder 4 can accomplish this where a xmp sidecar file is created then transcoding into a wmv and or flash file , curious if the metadata will stick and be read in the outputted file) In anycase I may have find an alternative way and use my current Rhozet carbon coder transcoder program to try to inject an xml file during the batch transcoding process. If anyone has successfully accomplished this with injecting xmp metadata in a batch transcoding program please let me know. I've been exhausted searching for the solution this problem for a long time and I don’t want to wait till a mpeg 7 solution comes out.

Use of XMP Custom Panel to automate insertion of metadata into PDF file.

I'm new to the world of XMP so please bear with me.
I'm exploring ways of automating the insertion of metadata into PDF files, either at the time of creation, or through a batch process. The metadata values for a given set of documents would be static, so these could be "hard coded" into the mechanism use to insert the metadata.
Would an XMP Custom Panel be something I could use to achieve this goal. If so, can you please provide some details on how to go about doing this.
Thanks in advance.
Louis

Were you able to find a solution to this problem? I am having the same issue.

Cannot Paste Excel info into PDF files

We are an Accounting firm.
I need to past copied information from Excel into PDF files.
We have 35 users that use Adobe Standard 9.5.
We have one use that uses Adobe X Standard.
The 35 users can paste into a PDF file with no problems.
The 1 User of Adobe X Standard cannot.
Can someone please assist me is getting Adobe X Standard to allow a simple paste from Excel into the PDF.
Thanks.
Cepolly

I don't know if this will help, but I ran into this problem myself today. We had an upgrade, and no one could figure out why I couldn't paste my small Excel table into my pdfs, which I have done through 9 and now X Pro.
I compared my Preferences, and the problem was there.
In Edit/Preferences/Comments, all options should be checked in the first of three sections. Once I checked all of those options, I could paste into the pdfs again.
Hope this helps - actually hope you found the solution long before now.

I have installed iOS7 on my ipad 4, now my ipad recognises PDF's emailed to me as jpegs and cannot save them into iBooks, any solutions? iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi Cellular (MM), iOS 7

I have installed iOS7 on my ipad 4, now my ipad recognises PDF's emailed to me as jpegs and cannot save them into iBooks, any solutions?
iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular (MM), iOS 7

Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved

Get report into PDF - with header logo

I want to batch generate Discoverer reports into PDF files, with the company logo in the header.
So, for batch generation - the easiest thing is to write a script which calls Desktop. Ok, no problem.
Oh, sorry, you can't export to PDF using desktop. Grrr. So okay, I use a utility named Neevia to take the html export from Desktop and covert that to PDF.
Oh, so sorry! Export to html from Desktop does not output the logo!
This is on version 10.1 (not that things sound improved more recently).
I'm tempted to try using a print to pdf print driver, but I need to run hundreds of reports... typically those print drivers (PrimoPDF for example) will pop up and ask for the file name to be specified. I don't see a way to have the batch script answer that prompt with a unique name for each report.
Ideas folks? It all seems like a Catch-22 to try to get PDF + Logo + Batch generation. Pick 1.

Hi,
We use print to PDF print driver to generate PDF. You can set the default directory so that the PDF driver does not prompt for the filename. The filename defaults to the same name as the .DIS file. We use Adobe Professional for this but I am sure you can do the same with other print drivers. What is a pain, and I really wish Oracle would fix this, is that you cannot print from a workbook stored in the database so all the workbooks have to be stored locally. Using a VBScript we can generate dozens of PDF reports overnight without any problems.

Save Web page into PDF in Windows 7 32 bit for Adobe 7

When security under Internet options in Internet Explorer runs with "Enable Protected Mode" checked, can not save web page into PDF. The version of Adobe is 7.
Nazir

Are you saying you cannot print to the Adobe PDF printer or what. You have to be more complete in your description since AA7 will not fully work in Win7. You will have to use workarounds, but knowing what steps you are using is important to giving any help. Just saying save does not help. Of course, you might be able to use the MS plugin for creating PDFs as an alternative if you only have AA7. One thing that you find with AA7 is that PDF Maker will likely not work and also the printer will have to be a print to file, followed with a use of Distiller to complete the PDF creation. The AA7 version of AcroTray that does a lot of the work in the background should not be expected to work with Win 7, thus the need for workarounds.

Exporting Indesign document into PDF

I have a worklow of 410 pages 13"x13" made entirely of photos. The work is in progress but I want to make a presentation of what has been done so far. I opted for exporting to PDF only screen and web visible and that worked fine. But when I tried to export the full version as if for pre-press, the exporting loaded the 410 pages and then collapsed saying, this document cannot be exporting to PDF.
What could be the problem? the extent of the work? the size of the file? missing links? wrong settings? Thanks for your help.

Probably file size and memory (or lack there of). Your machine has to load all the data for each picture, maybe re-res it to the PDF setting you specify, save the file. ID might need to have access to several GB of memory.
I'd suggest breaking it into maybe 100 page chunks. I bet each PDF file will still be nearly 100mb each! You could use Acrobat to combine them into one PDF file. But talk with your printer, they might be able to easily work with a couple smaller files for you. A 400mb PDF is pretty large (not impossible, just unusual).

Cannot drag and drop PDF pages in Yosemite Preview App

I suddenly cannot drag and drop PDF pages into the open preview PDF Yosemite> Why?
I open a PDF in preview.
I used to be able to simply drag a PDF from the desktop (or a JPG) into that open PDF in Preview.
Now it won;t let me?
Is this a bug or is there a new procedure for this?
Thanks!
Mike

Have you run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" apps on your Mac or have any antivirus software installed?
Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair both the disk permissions and the disk. Reboot normally and try again.
If the above fails reboot into the Recovery volume and reinstall the system. Repair disk permissions afterward.
Also, as a test, log into another user account on your Mac and see if the problem persists there. If it does then it's a system wide issue. If not, it's an account issue.

No marker on JFreeChart into Pdf file by IText, why?

Hello everyone,
I have a question which has wasted my few days.
I created a web report with JFreechart and Table on Panel. There is a Value Marker (vertical line ) on the line chart which created by JFreeChart. They all work fine on the website. Then I would like to put them into Pdf file with iText. For the chart, table, and title, pdf file looks fine. But, I can not see any marker in the pdf.
Here is part of my code as follows:
1) // create a marker on myDate of DateAxis;
Date myDate = mySetting.getMyDate();
Month month = new Month(myDate );
Marker myDateMarker = new ValueMarker(month.getFirstMillisecond());
myDateMarker.setPaint(Color.darkGray);
plot.addDomainMarker(myDateMarker);
2)//write chart into Pdf file;
PdfWriter docWriter;
PdfContentByte cb = docWriter.getDirectContent();
PdfTemplate tp = cb.createTemplate(563, 223);
Graphics2D g2d = tp.createGraphics(563, 223,new DefaultFontMapper());
Rectangle2D r2d = new Rectangle2D.Double(0, 0, 563, 223);
myPdfDocPage.chart.draw(g2d, r2d, null); // this chart was created with a value marker showed above.
g2d.dispose();
cb.addTemplate(tp, 15.5f, 585f);
Is there any ideas? I really appreciate you for your help in advance.
Helen.

[CS3] the file cannot store XMP metadata

Hello,
I want to add some metadatas like keywords and description to my video files (raw avi and mpg). It works for most of them in bridge but some will not accept any changes. I get the following error message: "xxx.avi cannot store XMP metadata. No changes will occur." Even so all the video files have been recorded during the same session (no visible differences between the files), some of them work, some do not work.
Do you know a known problem with embemdding XMP into video files? Or if the problem comes from Bridge, how can I do?
Thanks to everyone who could help me.
