How to remove xmp metadata?

I need to remove the "XMP metadata" information in the tiff(photoshop) files via scripting. Is it possible? Kindly advice me. Please provide examples.
Thanks for looking into this..
Regards,
Maria Prabudass

This will remove as much metadata that is possible by using scripting, anything else you need ExifTool.
#target photoshop
var f = File(Folder.desktop + "/example.tif");
removeMetadata(f);
function removeMetadata( file){
if ( !ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript ) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');
        var xmpf = new XMPFile( File(file).fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE );
        var xmp = xmpf.getXMP();
        XMPUtils.removeProperties(xmp, "", "", XMPConst.REMOVE_ALL_PROPERTIES);
      if (xmpf.canPutXMP( xmp )) {
         xmpf.putXMP( xmp );
      xmpf.closeFile( XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY );
The only other way is to save for web, open the file again and save as a tif.

How to import XMP metadata in pdf

Could you please explain me, how to import XMP metadata in pdf file through "Live Cycle ES"?

Yes, with LiveCycle ES (almost) all services can be invoked from any of the available endpoints (watch folder, EJB, WebService, etc).
In this case since the ImportXMP requires two input files (the PDF and the XMP) you will need to drop a directory containing both of your files into the watch folder (not the individual files). This is because several requests can be dropped into the watch folder at the same time and without the sub directories LiveCycle couldn't tell what XMP when with what PDF.
A com.adobe.idp.Document - AKA: Document - object is one of the common object types used across all LiveCycle products. When you deal with PDFs and many other binary file objects they are stored a Document object. It is more important that you know this when using Workbench, web services or the Java API.
You should have a look at the documentation at: http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/001553.html

How to get XMP MetaData as an XML String in a process?

Hi there,
I have a process where I would like to export a documents XMP MetaData, manipulate the XMP MetaData and then import the MetaData again to the document.
I thougt first I will use the service Name "XMPUtilityService" with the Service Operation "Export XMP" to export the XMP MetaData as a document.
Hoewer I am not sure how to manipulate the output document from the Export XMP service.
When I print out the document.toString() in a execute Script Service I get the following:
<document state="active" senderVersion="0" persistent="false" senderPersistent="false" passivated="false" senderPassivated="false" deserialized="false" senderHostId="null" callbackId="0" senderCallbackId="0" callbackRef="null" isLocalizable="true" isTransactionBound="false" defaultDisposalTimeout="600" disposalTimeout="600" maxInlineSize="65536" defaultMaxInlineSize="65536" inlineSize="3440" contentType="null" length="-1"><cacheId/><localBackendId/><globalBackendId/><senderLocalBackendId/><senderGl obalBackendId/><inline><?xpacket begin="ï»¿" id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?>
<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="A...</inline><senderPullServantJndiName/><attributes/></document>
Actually I expected something like this:
<?xpacket begin="" id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?>

What do I need to do to get the XMPMeta data as an XML String from a document within a process?
Thanks in advance!
Paul

Hi,
thanks for the answer.
I know that I can retrieve the XMPUtilityMetadata object, but this object provides only access to a few information suche as creator, subject, producer, etc.
However I would like to retrieve the whole XML String of the XMP Metadata.
How is this possible?
Thanks.

[CS3 JS] How to force XMP metadata update for a thumbnail?

Hi Folks,
In a JavaScript in Bridge CS3, I'm updating a value in the XMP metadata for a Thumbnail. Later in the script I want to read the updated XMP metadata information from the Thumbnail, but often Bridge hasn't updated the metadata by the time I read it. In other words, my script reads the value prior to the update. I'm guessing there's a caching issue going on.
I'm new to Bridge scripting, and I am hoping someone here can offer suggestions on how I can (or, even *if* I can) force Bridge to update the XMP metadata cache for a file so that when I read it later in the script it will reflect the recent changes. I've tried using Thumbnail.refresh(), but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I don't mind a slower script, I just want to be able to read the correct value.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi David,
I'm running this script on a MacBook Pro, 2.5GHz, 4GB RAM.
Here is a sample JSX that shows the issue I'm having:
#target "bridge-2.0"
main();
function main() {
    if( xmpLib == undefined ) {
        var pathToLib = Folder.startup.fsName + "/AdobeXMPScript.framework";
        var libfile = new File( pathToLib );
        var xmpLib = new ExternalObject("lib:" + pathToLib );
    var myValue = "Headline Test";
    var myFilePath = "~/Desktop/TestFile.tif";
    var curHeadlineStr = XMPGetHeadline(myFilePath);
    $.writeln("Headline value: \"" + curHeadlineStr + "\"");
    XMPWriteHeadline(myFilePath, myValue);
    // *** I would like to refresh the cache here ***
    curHeadlineStr = XMPGetHeadline(myFilePath);
    $.writeln("Headline value: \"" + curHeadlineStr + "\"");
function XMPGetHeadline(theFilePath) {
    var thumb = new Thumbnail(File (theFilePath) );
    md = thumb.synchronousMetadata;
    xmp = new XMPMeta(md.serialize());
    var myHeadlineXMPProp = xmp.getProperty
        (XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "Headline", XMPConst.STRING);
    return myHeadlineXMPProp;
function XMPWriteHeadline(theFilePath, theTextStr){
    var thumb = new Thumbnail(File (theFilePath) );
    md = thumb.synchronousMetadata;
    xmp = new XMPMeta(md.serialize());
    var myOrigHeadlineXMPProp = xmp.getProperty
        (XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "Headline", XMPConst.STRING);
    xmp.deleteProperty(XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "Headline");
    xmp.setProperty(XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "Headline", theTextStr, 0, XMPConst.STRING);
    var updatedPacket = xmp.serialize
        (XMPConst.SERIALIZE_OMIT_PACKET_WRAPPER | XMPConst.SERIALIZE_USE_COMPACT_FORMAT);
    thumb.metadata = new Metadata(updatedPacket);
To run this script, in main(), set the myFilePath variable to the path of a file that has an "IPTC Code" "Headline" property.
This script, when run, sets the "Headline" property value to the value of myValue. After runing the script for the first time, take a look at the console log. You should see that Headline value displayed does not change between the two console entries. My log looks like this after the first run:
Headline value: "undefined"
Headline value: "undefined"
The thing is, the second entry in the console listing, above, was created after the Headline value was set by XMPWriteHeadline(). The two values should be different between the two console entries.
If you run the script a second time against the same file, you will see that the Headline value does contain the value that was written in the first run of the script--it just took some time to update the cache, I'm guessing. Here's the second run's log:
Headline value: "Headline Test"
   Headline value: "Headline Test"
So, what I'm looking for is a way to insert code (where the comment line "//*** I would like to refresh the cache here ***" appears), to force Bridge CS3 to refresh its cache so that when I call XMPGetHeadline() after calling XMPWriteHeadline(), the Headline value will return the value that was just written.
I hope this is clear enough...
Thanks!!!!

How to read XMP metadata of an indd file using Actionscript

Hi All,
I am trying to read XMP metadata of an indd file using CS Extension Builder in Flash Builder 4.5.
The documentation has many class like XMPmeta, XMPStruct, etc.
I have got the currently opened document in InDesign as follows:
var myDoc:Document = InDesign.app.activeDocument();
And a new XMPmeta object is created as follows:
var myXMP:XMPMeta = new XMPMeta();
How to initialize document's xmp metadata in the XMPMeta object? Or is there any other way to get the XMP metadata of currently opened document in InDesign?

I have found that the XMP data of an InDesign document can be retrieved in actionscript as follows:
InDesign.app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences
This returns the MetadataPreference object.
But I am not able to iterate each namespace in the xmp. There isn't any XMPFile class which allows me to serialize the object to xml file so that I can iterate all elements in the XMP.
I could not relate class like XMPMeta, XMPProp, etc. with the MetaDataPreference class. So, how to obtain the entire xmp packet from the MetadataPreference object?
Can anyone shed light on this?

How to read XMP metadata from a Jpeg

This seems like it should be a no-brainer, but I can't find any classes to do this ?? I can find classes to read song titles from MP3 files, I want to do similar with jpeg image files.
In photoshop and lightroom you can set up titles and captions (and copyright info) in the metadata. When you save a jpeg this gets embedded in the file.
How to read this info and parse it and use it once you have loaded it into a BitMapData???
I am Flash/AS3.0 code only no IDE - please no flex/AIR examples!
Thanks!

How to insert xmp metadata into jpeg files?

Hi
Is it possible to automatically insert the metadata
with the script using text extracted from my database.
I have to insert the metadata into lots of images which are uploaded to a site.
Thanks
[signature deleted bu host]

A scripting tool you may use, although complex, is ImageMagick. It allows loads of image manipulate but also handles data.
Another options is DBGallery, which will very easily allow XMP data to be written to hundreds or thousands of files at a time, but not via script (it's a Windows application). You can see a quick screenshot tour of it's IPTC/XMP capabilities here.
Hope this helps,

How to add xmp metadata to dae files

How to add metadatas to 3D dae files...?
The cad file used as an entry, the 2D files used as textures, environment, shaders...etc?

Hi,
Yes sorry about the "Acrobat Tag" , the question was more for the CS6 suite, and the management of DAE files in Bridge and Photoshop Extended in a CQ5 DAM workspace.
But nevertheless, it should be cool if Acrobat X 3D could import directly Collada files...

How to add to a DNG file, the XMP metadata that transforms it into Cinema DNG ?

Hello,
I would like to know how to convert a series of DNG files into Cinema Dng ? What I read is that Cinema DNG has more XMP metadata than DNG. Is there a tool to add this kind of metadata ?

It seems that the thumbnail created by adobe DNG converter is a source of problem for Da Vinci Resolve, to recognize a series of DNG as Cinema DNG. So if we could have a solution to remove this thumbnail, hallelujah !

How can I get Adobe Bridge to show XMP metadata using Adobe Drive 4 CMIS Connector?

I have successfully connected to an Alfresco Enterprise Edition 4.1.0 repository, using the Adobe Drive 4, created a test folder and uploaded a jpeg file containing XMP metadata into it.
When I view the image's metadata (using Adobe Bridge), I observe that only part the standard file properties are displayed.
When I view a local copy of the image using the same, I see all fields of the standard file properties plus available metadata.
My question: what should I do in Adobe Bridge to be able to see all available XMP metadata?
Kind Regards and Appreciation

How did you get through to customer service? They've changed the website and I can't even find phone numbers or a chat button any more.
Here's my story that I posted on discussion yesterday, but no one has replied:
I am screaming and pulling my hair out right now! The last six months with Adobe has been a nightmare.
Once again I am completely locked out of Creative Cloud and cannot use the apps even though my automatic monthly deduction for payment was just made a couple of days ago. Creative Cloud continues to reset itself to the trial version which runs out in 30 days and after that I am locked out once again.
Now it looks like it is harder to access support than before. Where are chat and the phone numbers now? This was a nightmare with countless hours spent on chat and the phone over the last six months, and now I don't even know how to access support in order to spend even more time that does not solve the problem. What am I to do?
I cannot use the product I have paid for!
Please help!

How do I view XMP metadata in Adobe Reader?

How do I view XMP metadata in Adobe Reader?
I've created a PDF which (I believe) includes XMP metadata, and I'd obviously like to check that it's been done correctly. However it's not obvious how to view this within Adobe Reader (I'm using 11.0.04 on OS X). Googling around, I've found an off-hand remark that Reader isn't able to do this, but this is obviously insane -- what's the point of licensing metadata if no-one can see it? What is it I'm missing?
Best wishes,
Norman

I've put a PDF at http://nxg.me.uk/temp/part1.pdf This does display/print perfectly OK in both Reader and in OS X Preview. I presume that the /Root object (254) is inside one of the ObjStm streams (yes?), as (presumably) are the /Page streams and the reference to the /Metadata object, 52.
Regarding scanning, Part 3 of the XMP spec, Sect 1.2 says "It is always best to use format-aware file parsing when possible. Lacking this information, applications can find XMP packets by scanning the file." Also, in Sect. 1.2.1, "A file should be scanned byte-by-byte until a valid header is found." Finally, ISO-32000-1 Sect. 14.3.2, Note 3, says "[The XMP spec] includes a method to embed XML data within non-XML data files in a platform-independent format that can be easily located and accessed by simple scanning rather than requiring the document file to be parsed." So it would appear that this metadata packet _should_ be found.

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.

How to export media with in out marker xmp metadata?

When I export media I can save the markers in the XMP metadata. But I can't save in out values. How can I add them to the XMP metadata?

I have given my filenames descriptors, for instance, 0000100 - Jerry rock climbing in Custer State Park SD. Importing into Lightroom allows me to display the filename metadata. Exporting the files generated in Lightroom to Photoshop Elements allows me to then create a slideshow in which I have more audio flexibilities.

How to import XMP-MP metadata into organizer

I have a fairly large number of photos with face tag metadata. Since Adobe is part of the working group that developed the XMP metadata standard, imagine my surprise to find out that Photoshop Elements 11 doesn't use it!
Is there any external program you guys know about to import face tag metadata into the organizer? I used Windows Photo Gallery to do the face tagging and it properly writes the metadata to the XMP fields. Problem is the photoshop organizer doesn't read the XMP fields! It's using it's own standard(?)
We are talking thousands of photos here so re-tagging is just not an option. Is there a way to get photoshop to import the tags and regions?
Struggling User

I think most of us who deal with large amounts of photos usually have a multi-application approach to things. No one application does it all. I crossed the 10,000 image point some time back and the thought of face tagging all that again makes me more than a little queasy!
I looked at PSE 11's organizer and realized it was very close to what I want. I'm going to use PSE for pixel editing anyway so it looks like an ideal one-size-fits-all application. However, of course I now know PSE doesn't use tags in the same way as others. So it's just a deal breaker plain and simple.
Right now I use:
Photo Gallery (formerly Window Live Photo Gallery) for organization and face tagging and subject tagging
GeoSetter for location tagging by the way it recognizes the Microsoft face tag data so I can use the people tags to sort in that app too
ExifTool for metadata manipulation where needed (camera data or other interesting info)Also note the ExifToolGUI (no longer maintained also recognizes the Microsoft face tag metadata)
Photoshop Elements for pixel editing
I use the face tags as keyword tags so you get a double benifit. The big deal of course however is the face region tag. Having a picture of many people and a separate list of keywords isn't helpful. You only know that John Smith is in the photo somewhere but you don't know which person he is! Like you said however, it's not important to everyone.
I will keep researching this. I'm betting someone has written an app to extract one set of data and make it available to another app.
