Multiple XMP Metadata into Multiple PDF

Hi, recently I've been trying to change the xmp metadata of multiple pdf, I already tried using Bridge and some other 3rd Party Programs but the issue is that all of those solutions just change the same information into multiple files, and what I want is to change different information into multiple files...
is there a way to load the info from a *.csv or a *.xmp
to be more precise I'm trying to change the Title Metadata of a tons of PDF but every file has a different Title... how can I do it massively?

Embedding extended XMP metadata into a PDF file

Hello.
I am preparing a thesis for submission into our library repository. They keep some additional information about the paper in a separate XML file which looks like: http://naca.central.cranfield.ac.uk/ethos-oai/2.0/uketd.xml
The metadata can be then easily harvested by other libraries etc.
Because the papers are downloadable and can freely circulate over the Internet I would like to also include the metadata into the PDF itself.
I've managed to extend the PDFX (MiKTeX) package such that it writes custom metadata in addition to the default fields (Author, Title, Subject, Keywords) into the PDF.
The problem is that the library metadata (see above) makes use of XSI schema which is apparently not compatible with RDF format of XMP.
Is there a way to get such rich metadata sets into a PDF file in a portable and accessible (thinking about search engines) way or should I stick with plain Simple Dublin Core?
Thanks for recommendations.

Incrementally appending custom XMP metadata into PDF files

I have a problem writing custom XMP metadata into a PDF document (I'm using the XMP Toolkit SDK).
The problem is that I don't know whether is possible to expand the XMP packet in order to append metadata incrementally into the document, and, if it is possible, I don't know how to do it. The program I wrote succesfully appends an item to an array four times, but it fails when trying to append the fifth one. The reason obviously is that the packet gets full and there is not room for more metadata. The error message, if I force the PutXMP call, is:
ERROR: Can't fit into specified packet size
So, what can I do? How to enlarge the packet or make it expandable? Or, otherwise, have I to inject a new XMP packet with the up-to-date information in it? How?
And a last question: Have I to scan for packets when dealing with PDF files? No smart handlers are available for this kind of files?
Thanks in advance.

I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files to into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "Error occurred while trying to access the file". WHY

I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack for $7.50/month (or $89.99/yr) but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "An error occurred while trying to access the service". WHY is this happening & How can I fix it?

Hi hpmg,
It seems you are trying to access the service via Adobe Reader. Make sure you are signed in with your Adobe ID. Is Reader updated to the latest patch v 11.0.09?
It might be possible that a firewall or antivirus might be breaking the connectivity from Reader to the server.
Try accessing the service from the browser: https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf and check if that works for you.

Converting multiple msft files into one pdf

HELP - i am using adobe acrobat 9 pro for macs (Mac OS X 10.6.3). when we had a pc, we were able to convert multiple files (microsoft office) to a single pdf at once without first converting them all to pdf. when I attempt this using the same technique, the images for all documents other than pdf files are greyed out and it seems that word/office documents are not a supported format for the conversion of multiple files (not listed in drop down menu) into one pdf.
I would greatly appreciate help with this. we are business users who are new to macs. we need to do a lot of this and are getting so frustrated. Thanks in advance!

Using Google Chrome - is there a way to convert multiple messages/folders into a pdf?

We are transitioning from Lotus Notes to Google Chrome. In Lotus, we had the option to select muliple messages or mulitple folders and convert them into PDFs. In Chrome, I only see the ability to convert a single message at a time through the "print" function. Is there another way? Thanks!

Spoke with Adobe rep - conversation below:
Chandhar: May I know whether you wish to convert the E-mails, folder to PDF at once in Google Chrome web browser ?
Michelle: I am looking to either select multiple emails OR covert a folder of emails into a pdf while in Chrome
Chandhar: Michelle, feature to convert the E-mails/ E-mails folder is available in Lotus Notes, Microsoft Outlook.
Chandhar: It is not available in Google Chrome web browser
Michelle: is there any future plans to change this?
Chandhar: It will be notified once it is available.

How do you import (or convert) XMP metadata into iPhoto '08?

Having recently made OS X my primary operating system, I switched from using Picasa/Windows Photo Gallery on Vista to catalogue my photos to iPhoto '08. However, the 7,000+ pictures I have all have XMP metadata tags. None of them show up in iPhoto '08 after import. Needless to say, I am not looking forward to having to retag 7,000+ pictures in iPhoto.
I know people in various forums, here and elsewhere, have said that iPhoto '08 does not do XMP at all. Is this true? Is there a workaround or plugin? I find it weird that XMP has been an open standard since May, and 6 months later, there isn't a plugin or solution, especially from Apple. Unless I am just daft and missing something obvious, which is entirely possible.
At any rate, I would really appreciate any help in me not having to retag over 7,000 pictures...thanks in advance!

mrbofus:
Do you still have the PC and the photos on it? If so you might look into the demo version of iView MediaPro and see it if can read those Picasa files and embed the metadata into the files like it can when reading an iPhoto library on the Mac platform. If it can, you'll be able to write the metadata to the files and bring them over again to the Mac and import into a new library. This is only speculation as I'm not conversant in Windows at all.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can I automate the writing of XMP metadata into JPEG and TIFF files?

I have written an ASP.NET 3.5 website application on behalf of an annual international photographic competition. Entrants will be uploading digital photos in either JPEG or TIFF format. Ideally, I would write entrant identity and image title information into the XMP metadata for each image immediately after upload - but so far, I have failed to find any way to do this in ASP.NET.
Thousands of images are involved, so I need to find a way to automate the metadata insertion, perhaps with some sort of script that uses a text file (extracted from the SQL Server database on my website) as the source of the metadata for a batch of images. Is this the sort of task that can be done by writing a script for Bridge CS3? Are there any scripts already in existence that I could use? I am a total beginner in this area.
I use a Win XP PC, though I have a colleague who, I think, has CS3 on his Mac (running under the Leopard OS), so scripts for either platform might be usable.

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 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,

Apply/paste cell metadata into multiple clips?

Hi everyone,
I'm logging, and as always I have some identical logging data (metadata) that needs to be input for dozens of clips. Let's say, "wrong scene # in slate". The manual way to do this is Cmd+V and Return (or Ctrl+V and Enter) for every single clip. Is there an automatic way to do this? If there is, I couldn't find it anywhere.
I'm using the latest (7.2.2) PPro CC.
For comparison, this is the Avid way.
Thanks!

Hmmmm, you helped me got to the/a right answer: I kept trying to input values normally, in the bin window. If you select multiple clips, as soon as you click on one of their fields to edit, the selection reverts to that individual clip.
If I input the values in the Metadata panel, it works as you described.
I still think it'd be slicker to be able to do this while staying in the bin. I'd like confirmation from others if there is a way to do it or not. I now know one way to do it, would be good to know if there are more

Printing multiple dashboard pages into one pdf

Hey guys,
I know this is not offered as standard but I was wondering if there was any way to do this.
Two methods i'm wondering about are:
- Create another page with a javascript "print" button which grabs information from each page and prints to one pdf.
- Create another page that holds a static copy of all analysis' in the other pages.
The reasons I need to do this is that we originally had 30 analysis' running on 1 page which was destroying performance and killing our servers.
To rectify this, i have split the report out over numerous pages but the users still want to only print once.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Adam

Hi,
Ok your condition is very tricky.
Just Try this if this works.
Create many sections in the dashbaord like say 4. Divide you reports into 4 sections and place it in each section.
Use condition in each Section. Have an extra filter in your main dashboard. having pages 1,2,3,4 as selections.
conditions should be used as : if user seletcs 'page 1' in promt then only 1 section should be visible. after Section 1 is exucuted and printed , if user selcts 'Page 2' then 2 secions wll be visible.
here user can select one by one to reduce the load on the server.
fibally if you select 'Page 4' all the reports will be visible togther. now you can print to PDF.
Mark if helps.

Multiple billing documents into one PDF for email

We have a business requirement to email invoices to customers with one email, one pdf. Our current email solution utilizes the Esker software and results in one email per invoice when we run RSNAST00 for transmission medium 5 nightly, which really irritates our customers.
Is there anyone out there who knows how to configure or program so the customer gets only one email with one pdf? We have been told this is possible using Esker Deliveryware rules but would prefer a solution inside SAP if possible.
Thanks in advance!
Amy

Hi Amy
You can create a custom program which can do this using ABAP Development. The program will call a smartform and print all the invoices for the customer created during the day as continuous pages. (You should then remove the configuration for the output type already configured using NACE)
The program can be scheduled to run daily.
You could use the settings in SCOT to configure default file format as PDF for all smartforms.
...please.
with kind regards
