To See training session for XMP Metadata

Hi all,
Can u plz tell me the link useful in training Session for getting and setting the metadata for image.
Thanks
Best Regards
Dan

Hi,
Your understanding is correct.
I am able to add the metadata up to a certain point of time. After that as the CanPutXMP is failing, I am not able to put XMP packet inside the file.
There is XMPMeta object - meta, which is derived from an AI file.
SXMPMeta meta;
myFile.GetXMP(&meta);
//modifications appended to meta.
string metaBuffer;
meta.SerializeToBuffer(&metaBuffer);
if(myFile.CanPutXMP(meta))
// If so then update the file with the modified XMP
myFile.PutXMP(meta);
after certain point of time CanPutXMP is failing.
Will you please tell me how to handle the CanPutXMP situation? What are probable causes for the same? I tried to google on it, but did not get satisfactory explanation.

Size limit for XMP metadata to be added externally to a file's metadata

Hi,
There is a situation where I need to add some 'text data' to the metadata of Adobe Illustrator document, in XMP format. The data being added is in the form of Array Item. While adding the data, I found that, after certain limit, the data addition is not happening. I read in the XMP Specification Part:3 that, the StandardXMP meta object(JPEG) can have size of 64 KB. It can be extended using ExtendedXMP object further..
Is this limit applicable to text data also?
Is there a limit on having such ExtendedXMP chunks?
Will the data in ExtendedXMP be considered in same way as that of in StandardXMP?

FDK support for XMP metadata?

I want to be able to programmatically add metadata to FrameMaker files to make them more searchable.
According to the FDK Programmer's Reference (Version 10), you can "modify XMP data directly for a document by setting a value to the FP_FileInfoPacket document property." There is even an FDK client (setxmpinfo.c) to show how this can be accomplished.
The problem?
(1) Getting the property returns an empty string, regardless of whether the document (or book) contains an XMP packet.
(2) Setting the property causes no error (value of FA_Errno remains 0), but nothing useful happens. Reading the value immediately afterwards returns nothing, cf. above, and saving the file does not change the existing XMP packet in any way.
I've also tried to read the FP_PDFDocInfo property, which is supposed to contain string pairs corresponding to the content of the "File Info" box in FrameMaker, and also a subset of the information encoded in the XMP packet, but invariably got an empty string list.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions that might be helpful. :-)
-Mark Ulrik (struggling FDK developer)

I'm particularly hoping to hear from folks who (like myself) have made an attempt to get this to work.
The simplest test I can think of is reading the doc's FP_FileInfoPacket property after having entered one or more values in FrameMaker's "File Info" dialog. In my experience, the result is invariably an empty string.
Despite what the documentation says, the harsh reality seems to be that the FDK implementation of these properties are mere stubs.

Alfresco XMP Metadata Extractor

Hi all,
First of all I want to apologize if I do stupid questions, as I am new to Adobe world....
I'm an Alfresco Consultant and want to extract the uploaded Adobe file's XMP metadata. As Alfresco is a Java product I need to do it in Java, so I was wondering if there's any Maven repository I can point to to use Adobe libraries (is there any Java library for XMP metadata extraction?)
Thanks in advance.

It looks like the XMP toolkit supports Java.

Take care and good luck finding your solution,

[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!
-- Jim

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!!!!

Clarification for nef vs xmp metadata

I am learning Lightroon, and am attempting to understand how to maintain consistency between applications.
If I understand correctly:
On import, or on “Read metadata from file”:
If an .xmp sidecar exists, I assume Lightroom will read the .xmp, and ignore the metadata in the .nef file.
If there is no .xmp file, Lightroom will read the metadata from the .nef file.
The data read is stored in the catalog, along with any changes, and is not written back unless the Catalog preferences is set to “Automatically write changes to XMP.” or a manual write is initiated for selected files.
Lightroom will not ever write metadata to the .nef files.
If metadata was read directly from the .nef file, the sidecar is only created when a change to metadata is made in Lightroom, and Catalog preferences is set to “Automatically write changes to XMP.” or a manual write is initiated for selected files.
Can anyone confirm that my understanding is correct, or clarify the process for me?
Thanks

Turns out I was completely wrong about Lightroom ignoring the .nef file if a sidecar file exists. So, my revised attempt to understand this is a follows:
On import, or on “Read metadata from file”:
If there is no .xmp file, Lightroom will read the EXIF and tagging metadata from the .nef file.
If an .xmp sidecar exists, it appears that Lightroom will read the EXIF data in the .nef file. It also appears to read both the .nef and .xmp sidecar files, and selects the latest tagging/rating information based, probably, on the Metadata date field. (See lower section for further info)
The data read is stored in the catalog, along with any changes, and is not written back unless the Catalog preferences is set to “Automatically write changes to XMP.” or a manual write is initiated for selected files. ( For some reason, Lightroom appears to create .xmp files on import for a few files before any changes occur. I have not figured out a pattern to this yet). When Lightroom does create or update a pre-existing .xmp file, it writes a significant portion of the EXIF data.
As Geoff the Kiwi pointed out, Lightroom will write to the .nef files if you are changing the creation date, and have the “Write date or time changes into proprietary raw files” box checked. (It appears you also need to check the “Automatically write changes into XMP” box before Lightroom (5) will actually write the changes to the .nef files.
I have been using Daminion for my tagging and rating tasks. I allows writing to the .nef file or to an .xmp sidecar file. Changes written to file in either program, are picked up when “Read tags from file” is executed in the other program. This is true whether Daminion writes to the .nef or .xmp files. Both Lightroom and Daminion have to read both .xmp and .nef files, and have the ability to select the latest information for this process to work, and it does work flawlessly in my somewhat limited testing to date.
There is a YouTube video that demonstarates this very nicely.

Editing XMP metadata in Bridge for checked-out files?

Our custom connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability because we do not want to change the XMP of a file in our DAM system without checking in a new file version.
However, when a file is checked out through Adobe Drive, we would expect to be able to edit its XMP metadata in Bridge just like we can for local files.
It looks like this is still not possible with Adobe Drive 3, i.e. if your connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability you cannot edit XMP for checked out files either.
It seems weird that you can edit XMP metadata for checked out files with regular CS applications but not with Bridge. Is this something that is expected to be fixed in a future version?
Thanks

In our design, editing XMP data in Bridge and in regular CS applications is different, the former one will be routed to SetXMPHandler in you connector, in the latter case, CS applications take the normal file writting ways to embed XMP data in the file content.
The purpose of this design is to offer similar user experience for normal users when they edit XMP data for AD assets and local file assets, they don't need to check-out files first.
To address your issue, I think you can add some codes in SetXMPHandler to auto check-out files before real XMP operation, and check-in them before exiting the handler
We will consider to make some enhancements for this part, that's, to allow editng XMP data for the checked-out files in Br, in the next release, thanks for this advice.

Custom command for custom XMP metadata

Hi
I'm trying to create a custom command for setting and getting custom XMP metadata using InDesign CS3 SDK with Xcode.
I think I got the step 1) to 3) ok. But not so sure about step 4).
Please take a look and tell me if I have got anything wrong.
1) Create 2 classes and 1 interface
MyCustomMetadata
MyCustomMetadataSetCmd
IMyCustomMetadata
2) Define class definitions in the resource file
/** Boss class for kMyCustomMetadataBoss */
Class
kMyCustomMetadataBoss,
kInvalidClass,
IID_IMYCUSTOMMETADATA, kMyCustomMetadataImpl,
/** Boss class for kMyCustomMetadataSetCmdBoss */
Class
kMyCustomMetadataSetCmdBoss,
kInvalidClass,
IID_ICOMMAND, kIQAdTicketMetaDataSetCmdImpl,
IID_IMYCUSTOMMETADATA, kMyCustomMetadataImpl,
3) Define functions for setting and getting values in MyCustomMetadata
GetMyTitle()
SetMyTitle()
Within these functions, use IMetadataAccess interface to set/get values.
4) Create Do() function in MyCustomMetadataSetCmd
??? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do here ???
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
JP

Adobe Connect training video for the Learner and their engagement in virtual sessions

I am looking for a short Adobe Connect video on the Learners' role in virtual collaboration, communication and their engagement in virtual sessions: their use of the tools, expectations, etc. A training video for the virtual learner.

I am currently having the same issue, the only difference is that I am publishing Captivate projects into Connect courses/curriculums. The Captivate (v5) projects are basically a demo and I want the attendee to receive credit for viewing the demo after the demo window closes (the setting at the end of last slide). I have tried to enable/disabe the Quiz reporting along with other settings with no luck. After the demo closes I receive a pause icon and I want a green check mark. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

XMP metadata from Flashbuilder why not visible in Adobe Bridge?

Hi there,
I'm currently wondering around XMP metadata and swf files.
A: Flash CS5: works
When I use the XMP panel in Flash CS5 and export a swf, open Adobe Bridge CS5 and select the file, the XMP data are correctly displayed.
B: Flash Builder(Flex 4.1): don't work
When I use Flashbuilder and add my metadata to the compilation, then compile, open Adobe Bridge CS5 and select the file, nothing is included in metadata.
Procedure based on the following (same problem if metadata are directly set through compiler arguments):
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=compilers_14.html
../src/config/ProductMetaData.xml
<flex-config>
<metadata>
    <title>My title</title>
    <description>My description</description>
    <publisher>The publisher</publisher>
    <creator>The creator</creator>
    <language>EN</language>
</metadata>
</flex-config>
compiler argument
-load-config+=config/ProductMetaData.xml
As far as understood, on the background the following is added to the swf at compile time:
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'>
    <rdf:Description rdf:about='' xmlns:dc='http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1'>
        <dc:format>application/x-shockwave-flash</dc:format>
        <dc:title>My title</dc:title>
        <dc:description>
            <rdf:Alt>
                <rdf:li xml:lang='x-default'>My description</rdf:li>
            </rdf:Alt>
        </dc:description>
        <dc:publisher>The publisher</dc:publisher>
        <dc:creator>The creator</dc:creator>
        <dc:language>EN</dc:language>
    </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
I've checked that the medata is correctly added to the swf file using this small software polarswf:
http://download.cnet.com/Polar-SWF-MetaData/3000-6676_4-10738623.html
I do not know if it is safe to use it in a produciton context at least in trial mode it allows to check the metadata included in your swf.
I wonder if this metadata coonot be read by Adobe Bridge because they are at a "lower level" than those put by flash CS5 XMP panel?
Thank you in advance for your help.
This is not a blocking situation, but I'm curious to understand what happend.
Cedric Madelaine (aka maddec)

I was following this post for a LONG time, since I noticed the same problem.
This week I was getting in it into myself again and I noticed you use load-config. I used these compiler options :
contributor name
Sets metadata in the resulting SWF file. For more information, see Adding metadata to SWF files.
creator name
Sets metadata in the resulting SWF file. For more information, see Adding metadata to SWF files.
date text
Sets metadata in the resulting SWF file. For more information, see Adding metadata to SWF files.
But that resulted in this XML string where the dc namespace was missing a / on the end of the URI
That caused the metadata which was added in flashbuilder was only visible in bridge in the rawXML panel, and not the specific fields
changing the URI in http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ did the trick ( did this in bridge by exporting the rawXML, changed the / , and imported it )
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'>
    <rdf:Description rdf:about='' xmlns:dc='http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1'>
        <dc:format>application/x-shockwave-flash</dc:format>
    </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
Sadly there was no way I could add this / myself everytime.
BUT then I discoverd this option :
raw-metadata XML_string
Defines the metadata for the resulting SWF file. The value of this option overrides any metadata.* compiler options (such as contributor,creator, date, and description).
This is an advanced option.
And you could give the exact RAW XML as you described
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'>
    <rdf:Description rdf:about='' xmlns:dc='http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/'>
        <dc:format>application/x-shockwave-flash</dc:format>
        <dc:title>My title</dc:title>
        <dc:description>
            <rdf:Alt>
                <rdf:li xml:lang='x-default'>My description</rdf:li>
            </rdf:Alt>
        </dc:description>
        <dc:publisher>The publisher</dc:publisher>
        <dc:creator>The creator</dc:creator>
        <dc:language>EN</dc:language>
    </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
to the compiler. This could also be done in Flash with JSFL.
In the end I wrote an ANT script which injects the exact XMLstring of metadata to Flash and Flex projects by using the raw-metadata parameter in FLEX and JSFL for flash.
Hope this helps

Viewing XMP Metadata in Adobe Bridge via Adobe Drive Connector

Hi there,
I've been trying to view remote file XMP metadata in Adobe bridge via our adobe drive connector. I've added the READ_XMP_METADATA capablitiy, and I've seen the DataType.XMP has been requested. but I'm not sure how to display the metadata on the Adobe bridge metadata panel. since the metadata is embeded in the file, when i browse the file in local drive, the metadata shows fine, but when it's on our remote server, some how bridge doesn't extract the info and display it. I can see the metadata when I browse the remote file in windows explorer adobe drive. and we do download the file to local to a temp copy, browse the temp copy in bridge also showing the metadata, The only thing not working is browsing the remote file in bridge via adobe drive connector.
Please advise what should be done, in the programmer's guide, it says for each item, request that the server return the XMP data for that asset. How should I do that? If the XMP is embeded in the file, why would I need to request for it, would it be automatically extracted from the file?
Thanks,
Katherine
