Title: Custom metadata
Post by: LucLapointe on June 05, 2018, 03:57:41 PM
Hi,
Can we create custom metadata in a pdf file ?

Something like : document number
or : serial number
or : document class

Regards

PDF files can hold XMP tags and you can create you own (see example config file (https://exiftool.org/config.html)) but I believe there are xmp tags that you can use for those purposes.  For example, XMP:Identifier could be used for serial or document number.

Thanks
I will try to do some tests after reading the config.exemple file.
Might have to ask some others questions, will see.
