Why does new Illustrator doc have XMP OriginalDocumentId?

When I create a new doc in Illustrator and immediately view the XMP metadata, this document always has a xmpMM:OriginalDocumentID and a xmpMM:DerivedFrom structure. Why is that? I would expect that this document only gets a xmpMM:DocumentID and a xmpMM:InstanceID.
Even worse, all new Illustrator documents have the same xmpMM:OriginalDocumentID. So maybe that's happening, because they are internally all derived from the same template? But from an XMP perspective, this means they are all based on the same original work, which is, of course, not true.
This is not happening in Photoshop. A new document has no xmpMM section at all and only gets one when it is saved (but without xmpMM:OriginalDocumentID and no xmpMM:DerivedFrom structure).
The Illustrator behaviour seems to be inconsistent and breaks my XMP-based workflow. Is there any reason for this strange behaviour?
I'm using Adobe CS.

I think the startup profiles are part of the problem. They probably have their own xmpMM:DocumentID and when creating a new file based on such a profile, the new file inherits the template's DocumentID as OriginalDocumentID.
Also, there is no way in Adobe UIs to delete those OriginalDocumentIDs. I probably would need to use a command-line tool such as exiftool. But this is hopefully not the intended way of working with it.

  • Why does itunes in France have a complete lack of english language content on the TV programmes... prefering to release dubbed programmes and not the original english language content, surely it will cost nothing to release both?

    Why does itunes in France have a complete lack of english language content... prefering to release dubbed programmes and not the original english language content?
    It would be just as easy to release both a dubbed version and then a subtitled version.
    I am a native english speaker but live in France. My father has just moved over to live with me in France and speaks very little French.
    The price for a television series is very often more than a dvd box set but does not offer language options.
    My French is passable but I would still prefer to hear the programme in English.
    Using itunes uk is not an option as my cards are french or english with a french postal address.
    The content has been adapted for the french site all i want is to access the original.
    The series i have been trying to buy is HBOs 'boardwalk empire'.
    The stupid thing is to please my father i would buy up most the HBO, BBC and Channel 4 content a cost of a couple of thousand euros.

    Try giving Apple feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback and also contact the Apple headquarters at http://www.apple.com/contact  We are all fellow users and not Apple employees and often raise questions like yours ourselves.  If enough make Apple aware of a market/need then something may be done about it.
    France has come a very long way with regard to other languages.  When I lived in France, mid-880s, there was an entire Ministry devoted to the purity of the French language...that was the time the PC came out.  A TV news person was cashiered for using the term 'computer' on-air instead of the French created word 'ordinateur'.  They took the language extremely seriously at that time.  At least today there is recognition and even use of English by the masses

  • Why does my application icons have a cirle with a slash on them?

    why does my application icons have a cirle with a slash on them?

    That means those applications cannot be run on your computer.
    There are many different reasons why that situation could arise, but without more information all we can do is speculate / guess. For example, you upgraded the OS and the apps will not run in the new OS.
    If you need more specific answers.ost back with more information, e.g. what version of Mac OS X? when did this first occur?

  • Why does my volume name have -1 suffixe ?

    Hi ... Why does my volume name have a «-1» suffixe ?

    If it finds a similar name on the network, it will add that.
    Also, if a drive gets "lost," that will happen. The original mount point still exists, so when it is remounted, it has to create a new mount point.
    If you Go to the Computer in the Go menu, do you see one with and one without the -1?

  • Why does my iphone 5 have no service

    You may need to contact your carrier. I recently upgraded and the new phone activated automatically and the old one deactivated very soon after I turned on the new phone. May be different with different carriers.

  • Why does my browser constantly have to stop playing when watching You Tube?

    Why does my browser constantly have to stop playing when I watch You Tube or other videos?
    this is driving me nuts. It stops and then starts up again after a few seconds and then stops again and re-starts.
    Happens on both Safari and Firefox.
    Can anyone help?
    Message was edited by: kathrynfromsananselmo

    Hi Kathryn ...
    Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin... try troubleshooting.
    Quit Safari and Firefox if they are open.
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Use Safari to test. Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed in Safari > Preferences - Extensions, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari to test.

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.

  • Why does front row not have simple organization?

    I currently have a hard drive hooked into my macmini which is hooked up to my TV. On my hard drive I have over 1000 movies, all purchased through iTunes. However when I use front row and i goto the movie section, I have to scroll through every movie to get to the one I want. There's no way to scroll by letter, only one by one. This is horrible and takes forever. Can apple do an update that makes the right button on the apple remote for scrolling letter by letter. For example, you click the right button to goto movies starting with B, C, D, E, F, etc. Then the down button for one by one scrolling. Also, why does front row not have genres? AppleTV does. Why not incorporate that into front row? Think, Apple, Think.

    You can have sub-folders in the Movies folder and arrange your movies alphabetically that way.
    But if you want to alert Apple to your idea, then use this link:

  • Why does iTunes say I have two different total numbers of movies?

    On the sidebar, it lists 371 Movies. When I'm in Movies with everything listed, the number at the bottom next to total number of hours is 372 Movies. 372 Movies is the correct number of movies. I have all of those movies also loaded into iTunes on my laptop running 10.7. These are all movies which are hosted locally on a hard drive; none of them are iCloud downloads or matches. So why does it think I have 1 less movie on the side bar? Is there a way to find out if one particular film hasn't loaded properly or can't be read for some reason? Thanks

    The sidebar lists # of unplayed (not completed) items.
    They should have a blue dot (not played) or half blue dot (started but not completed) next to the name.

    Put in more RAM. Visit OWC, DataMem, or Crucial.com to purchase memory for your model. You computer would have more memory had you put more in a long time ago.

  • Why does my Apple TV have to frequently reactivate some channels

    Why does my Apple TV have to frequently reactivate some channels, such as HBO Go and PBS and several others that I know were already activated.

    Maybe a software update reset something, maybe the broadcasters require this at intervals, could someone have logged/signed out?  Sorry don't get those channels in UK, but once Netflix made me log in again, others seem ok.
    You could send some feedback if this happens very often:
