Title: XMP HIstory
Post by: ildolce77 on December 04, 2015, 08:52:59 AM
Hi Mr developer.
Is it possible to get more details in XMP History? For example the user of each save?
Regards

to my knowledge e.g., Photoshop does not store that information so the answer would be no.
To see if the information you are after is present at all, you could dump the whole XMP block like so: exiftool -b -xmp FILE/DIR and look for the info you are after. But as I said, I don't think editing software stores this at all.

The file is a pdf file. I see some records with changes but only see some information less important and ids (not user of each change)

As I thought, no data with the user id exists, so the answer to your question is no; what isn't present can not be shown. You can of course, add the data yourself (e.g., to custom XMP tags), but this will then, of course, not be maintained when the file is further edited.

Hayo is correct.  ExifTool is already extracting all of the information available from the XMP.
