Hi,

I have an INDD file,which has multiple pages. Each page has an image and some text superimposed on the image. My requirement is to extract this text from the images. Is there a way to do it in Exiftool?

Also, is there a way to extract these images along with the super imposed text to be extracted/converted into a .tif file so that i could use it for further processing.

Thanks!

ExifTool only deals with XMP information in INDD files, so I think the answer to your question is "no".  It sounds like you need something that will process the INDD document itself.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
