Transfer from one pdf file to another pdf file "Createdate" value(s)

[andy95]

Hello.

I have two same pdf files with different -XMP-xmp:Createdate value(s).

exiftool -XMP-xmp:Createdate "test1.pdf" "test2.pdf"

How can I transfer the "-XMP-xmp:Createdate" from test1.pdf to test2.pdf (with overwriting)?

==================================

OK. I found it:

exiftool -ext pdf -overwrite_original -tagsFromFile "test1.pdf" -XMP-xmp:Createdate>-XMP-xmp:Createdate "test2.pdf"

[StarGeek]

exiftool -ext pdf -overwrite_original -tagsFromFile "test1.pdf" -XMP-xmp:Createdate>-XMP-xmp:Createdate "test2.pdf"

Close.  You don't need the redirect, just need to name the tag you want copied.
exiftool -ext pdf -overwrite_original -tagsFromFile "test1.pdf" -XMP-xmp:Createdate "test2.pdf"

Also, for future reference, you need quotes around any part of the command that has a less/greater than sign and you don't include the dash in the second part (e.g. "-XMP-xmp:Createdate>XMP-xmp:Createdate").

Thanks again "StarGeek" for the information.
Exiftool is a very nice tool.
